OK, let's put this to the test.
How big is this wave?
This should give us an idea of how we all measure waves! I won't prejudice anyone by putting my guess.......yet!

This is fun - I've had one person in the office (a surfer) say 3-4 ft and one (non-surfer) say 8 ft.
Interesting!

I would say around 3 ft too.
How about this one, from a surfers point of view on the water!
Looks very different from this angle!

The first WAVE height is 5ft ish, giving a 2-3ft SWELL and the second is 3ft SWELL, thus a 6 ft WAVE. I rekon, the wave height is roughly twice the swell height.
