I've learned my lesson about that subject! Pretty much guaranteed that if I threw out a measurement, someone who wasn't there today would say I didn't know what I was talking about. :-" All I'm going to say is it was "overhead" because I know for a fact that I had to look up to see the tops of the waves when I was doing cutbacks.

It was alot bigger the last few times I was out down there, though...

Ramsey, you must have used Rey's wave height calculation equation. Nice accuracy!

When you are watching tv and measuring ingredients this is what happens. Extreme gingerbread houses.

Global icing warming is a real thing. So far our rule is we can only eat it without using our hands.
