A six footer would not have surprised me. The waves were outrageously steep too. I took the route on the southwest side of Rattlesnake because of the waves I was dealing with between Diamond and Rattlesnake. We had following seas and were not going very fast, so there was no pounding, but I was ventilating my props on the crests and stuffing the bow in the valleys now and then. Sure was glad I was not in a bowrider.
