> Scary thing is the pic you posted is about 15-20 feet and there were sections of the wave that were higher at the shore. Then there were areas where the wave went into a valley and was funnelled up, some ssay reaching as high as 40 feet in some of those areas.

It’s cresting a wall of harbor in that pic, which is above road level iirc.
