That's 83 feet from peak to trough and ties a world record.
The altimeter measured no less than 59 foot waves in the same pass.

Yikes, I’d hate to see what a wave like that could do to one of those ocean-going cargo ships!

Wow, anyone know how POTUS Trump was able to produce Waves that high?
I don’t think the Bush-Rove Weather Machine could have pulled that off.

If the waves are 83 feet in the open ocean, won’t they typically increase in size when they get to shore?

Not a record.
The biggest ever in a tropical storm was "The biggest recorded by a buoy (as of 2011) was 32.3 m (106 ft) high during the 2007 typhoon Krosa near Taiwan.[13] " Wikipedia
The biggest non-storm wave: "An earthquake followed by a landslide in 1958 in Alaska’s Lituya Bay generated a wave 100 feet high, the tallest tsunami ever documented. When the wave ran ashore, it snapped trees 1,700 feet upslope. Five deaths were recorded, but property damage was minimal because there were few cities or towns nearby." Simthsonian Institute
