∙ 13y agoWhile the largest waves would be tsunamis caused by seafloor eartquakes, the largest at-sea waves are caused by tropical storms and squall lines. Gusting high winds can create seas as high as 50 feet (15 m). Typhoons and hurricanes also have a central "mound" of water in the eye, which comes ashore as a storm surge.
