"...Seas 3-5'..."
How does this statement make you feel? Safe? Secure? Just another "calm, nothing can go wrong" day on the ocean? It SHOULDN'T!! Let's look at just exactly what it means:
Three to five feet. For most of us that about from our waist to our shoulders. No big deal, right? Typically, no. ASSUMING that the waves absolutely do not get any bigger. We all know what assuming does however, right? "Assuming" is the name of the city where Murphy lives. (In case you haven't met Mr. Murphy, you are an extremely lucky individual!! He lives by the belief that what can go wrong, will go wrong at exactly the wrong time!!)
What exactly are waves? How are they formed? The waves you see lapping the side of your boat are formed by two sources:
- Local WIND waves
- Distantly generated SWELL waves
The wave height is measured from crest to trough, or the top of the "hill" to the bottom of the "valley." The NOAA computes wave height by the following formula:
SEAS =√(s^2 + w^2), where S is the height of the swell waves and W is the height of the wind waves. If we take a wind value of 7', and a swell value of 7' also and use the formula we come up with an answer of 9.9' seas. Now, does this mean that no waves will be over 10'? NO! The National Weather Service is fairly conservative in their estimation (for good reason.) According to the NOAA website, wave height is expressed in terms of what is the average height of the highest 1/3 of all waves in that region. Here's an example they give for a significant wave height of 10 feet:
1 in 10 waves will be larger than 11 ft
1 in 100 waves will be larger than 16 ft
1 in 1000 waves will larger than 19 ft
There are occasional reports of "rogue" waves of an even greater ratio
Therefore, assuming a wave period of 8 seconds, for a significant wave height of 10 feet, a wave 19 feet or higher will occur every 8,000 seconds (2.2 hours).
We can see that the danger waves pose to a vessel is both a function of the height of the wave and the period (that is, how frequent the waves come.) If we reduce the wave period in half to 4 seconds, then we find that big 19' wave every 4,000 seconds or 1.1 hours. If we are out on the open seas for half a day, say 4-6 hours, chances are very good we will see one of these 19' waves.
This information isn't meant to scare anybody into not believing the weather service, or deter you from enjoying sailing where wave height is of a concern. Keep in mind, however, that nothing is absolute, the weather changes as fast as predictions are made, and in the end all we can rely on is our experience and training. Being well informed is half the battle. The other half is what we do with that information!!
