With the addition of the two, and the law of averages, there would be
an occasional 20 footer, wouldn't there?

Yup. maybe even bigger. Other problem is the wind waves are a different
direction than the swells. So really confused seas. One of the great
things to do during the big winter swells, is go out to Pt. Bonita on the
North end of the Golden Gate Bridge or to the Cliff House at Ocean Beach in
SF to watch the breakers. Especially out on the Four Fathom Bank, which is
the bar on the North side of the entrance to the gate.
