27.7 meters is equal to 90.88 feet.

A wave of such proportions would crest as high as the clock on San Francisco's Ferry Building.

Not exactly. Those measurments are peak-to-trough and the trough is often lower than the mean sea level. If you were standing on a fixed platform at mean sea level and one of these 90' monsters passed over it would be less than 90" over your soon to be removed head.

the Pentagon is 77' 3.5" so this wave easily would cover it.
