Always consider the buoy motion does not equal the rise and fall of the waves. Add at least another foot for wave heights.

Yep

The NOAA uses 2/3 of the average mean as the wave height. They do not mix extreme heights in their calculations.

Agree

[jimski2]

The motion of the buoy does not receive the full lift and fall of the elevation of the buoy wave as it passes through quickly.

What ever they report times by 2. Subtract by 5. Then divide 7 and get a round about answer.

If it's from NOAA - double it

If it's from a fisherman's report - cut it in half

a greed fished in 4-5 footers and never been sick till last year 30 min out pucked day over

Small boats like fourteen footers will find themselves endangered by faulty published wave heights.
