    i said something like this earlier and the two combining make it smaller and worse.

    individual swells do not combine and add to each other, so 3.6ft @ 11 seconds will be the biggest.

    What about constructive wave interference and rogue waves?

    both are unlikely occurrences, especially rogue waves

    in response to your last question, "only the good die young."

    bad things happen to good people now so that down the road they can live life in peace while all the aholes are dying off.

    there will be wave to wave interaction in the surf zone, and each break will handle this different. Some areas, combo swells are good, while others are not.

    What type of a break do you need for them to combine
