Lets talk actual seas. Not NOAA reports. I run offshore in the GOM For a living. 28 days at a time. Weather is something I have to monitor and know. These are true 8s seen in the videos. I am on a 150ft boat and 30ft off the waterline.

Needs to trim it a bit more with less tab.

Actual seas vs. NOAA. I'm confused , you saying you have a better, more accurate way to measure waves than NOAA? According to you those are 8'ers because you have a measuring stick or a long tape measure? How's that work exactly Ooooh maybe one of those fancy laser measuring tapes??

Because unless its buoy data a NOAA prediction is just that a prediction. And yes I've gotten really good at measuring seas based on being next to a fixed structure (oil platform) and watching how high and low the water goes.

They were still building. It was clocking 57 knots on the windbird. Thankfully I was almost in the jedis before it got too nasty. Solid consistent 8s and building.

ICU L,
are you a captain? if so, what tonnage do you carry. That is big water!
what do you do that you have to be out for 28 days at a time?

Here's some 4 to 8s. Good example of how video makes the water look smaller.
