I said 4ft when I saw the pic Thibb.

Wave size has always been quoted as the back of a wave - cause that's what you see when you are in there surfing and then you paddle outside the killer sets - looking to the shore going ' bloody hell – how big was that !”

If I am talking the size of the wave face I always say the word faces : for example, eight foot faces.

Nice ride by the way.

He says to-may-to, you say to-ma-to. Hehe everyone has a different opinion on sizes of waves. I judge by the hawaiian scale which is the back, so the front is usually doubled in height. That looks around 4-5ft.

Looks to be about 1-2 ankle high with poor - conditions.
