Re: Wave Heights appraoching the West Coast

There are going to be some very nasty waves coming ashore with Wilma... not only is she going to be moving at least at the optimum cyclonic storm wave producing speed of around 20 knots at landfall, but she's accelerating, which means that the waves are going to be trapped under the storm and built up for a LONG time... which is called fetch-trapping. The beaches aren't going to look very nice after this one. I wouldn't be surprised to see 15m waves.
