Weather Buoy 45142
I found out that the wave height reported for the weather buoy 45142 is measured from calm (or what would be flat water) to the peak of the waves. So when you're in a boat you experience twice that since you go from trough to peak.
It is one of my favorite fishing weather websites.

So when the weather buiy say 1-3 ft, it is really like 2-6 ft when you are in the boat b/c you go up and down 6'.
Also when the Bethlem Steel windmills are turning at >10 rpm, you can expect some wave action esp. further out.

Unfortunately Rick the wind mills don't work that way, they change the angle of the blades to keep the turbines from spinning too fast. I live in Sheldon where we have near 100 turbines in my back yard and they do this all the time.

I say if they would turn the fans(windmills) off we would have less wind & waves !
