This amazing photo was taken by Tim Huntington (of Condor fame). “It was taken at 11:20 on Thursday 12/28 – one can see the falls to the left of the photo, totally being dwarfed by the waves crashing on the rocks.”

From Wikipedia: “McWay Falls is an 80-foot-tall (24 m) waterfall on the coast of Big Sur in central California that flows year-round from McWay Creek in Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park, about 37 miles (60 km) south of Carmel, into the Pacific Ocean. During high tide, it is a tidefall, a waterfall that empties directly into the ocean. The only other tidefall in California is Alamere Falls.” Does that make that huge wave 160+ feet?
