a wave begins to crest once it's wavelength reaches 1/7 of the depth of the water column.
interesting...Ima have to do some reading about this...
you are going to have to double check me it might be waveheight not wavelength.
I don't have the notes from that class anymore as I didn't really find Physical Oceanography interesting, and I am currently not in that field

Big if, but if the La Cubra Vieja volcano erupts and causes a massive landslide, the East Coast of the US is so fricked.

Run up height isn't the same as pure wave height. It's not even the same concept.
Was 1,720 feet not the run up height of the Lituya Bay tsunami in Alaska?
I mean, I doubt any of us actually do this for a living, but is it possible recorded tsunami maximum heights could actually be the maximum runup height?

The July 9, 1958 landslide-generated wave in Lituya Bay, Alaska is famous for
achieving the highest runup (~525 m) of any known tsunami [Miller, 1960].
