I was there, it was over head high for a while. The sets actually got
bigger after 4 until about 6:00 then it all (wind & waves) came down
substantially.
I think the largest waves coincided with the most wind 4-5:30 pm. Those
on the beach at around 6:00 watched Carlos (Blue Ezzy 4.7) chicken jibe
at the end only to get munched by the 5+ ft. white water.
So it definately wasn't small.
