100ft waves where recorded in 1947 (unverified - gpronger 20110514)
From gpronger:
I ended up here after Googling the question. However, I am unable to verify 100 foot. The problem would be that the size of a wave is controlled by the size of the body of water (fetch) as is the period (distance between waves).
On Lake Michigan we can have a seich; which is similar to a tsunami but not due to a earthquake or underwater landslide but weather.
Waves, as best I can tell can get to around 20 feet with Lake Superior at 30 feet.
