Hi John,
Excellent sounds! You 're lucky to live in such a nice place. Being
awoke by such wave-sounds cannot be too much of a punishment ;) I can
imagine you running out with your gear to record this beauty of
nature, probably in the middle of the night (?)
As far as the waveheights concerned you might check out

..although you may already know this great site.
How do you protect your mics from the wind, and how far have you
placed them from each other in this beautiful ocean-files?
Many thanks!
