Combo of wave height and spread - on the GLs - anything more than 3 is just painful - 33 boat can handle it but your fillings will be rattled out.

Boat wave height. Is there any way of numerically calculating wake wave height and period using inputs such as boat length displacement speed etc. Ive found general wake wave databases where wake characteristics are dependent only on hull shape but would like to know if any further research has been carried out - particularly considering ski and wake-boarding boats. Speed reduced some pounding at speed.

For Vega that is a wave of 4m. Since waves generally build in height in shallower waters you can determine the depth where breakers will most likely form. Ad Luxury Cobalt Boats in Lake Geneva WI.

For example using the minimum 30 percent wave height to boat length if your boat is 40 feet long then the wave-height danger zone starts at waves 12 feet high 40 x 30. Boat wake characteristics were estimated from the pressure measurements using linear wave theory and standard time-domain analysis techniques. These analyses resulted in estimates of individual wave height and period for each boat wake event.
