This story says Bass Strait has had waves to 42m high? ... http://www.news.com.au/national/tasmani ... 3b7008577f

Lucky I've got high gunwhales

Years ago I made my first trip on the old Spirit of Tassie with a mate. The seas were right up and those days you could still go outside in any sea.
Anyway, my mate and I ended up playing cards with a couple of other blokes at a low set table sitting opposite each other. One wave hit us and the knocked the bloke off balance and out of his seat. He tumbled forward and did a sort of roll across the card table and ended up arse up in his mates lap sitting opposite
I also remember they had to turn around the small spirit from Sydney due to damaged front windows from high seas.

Recent studies of wave heights on rigs show that these freak waves are not a myth but 42m seems a bit of an exaggeration I'd like to see the footage
