It was difficult to find, but the best description of the Petoskey Pierhead is:

A 33 ft (10 m) round “D9″ cylindrical steel tower, painted white, on a red square concrete base

I don’t know if the base is included in the 33 feet, but from lake level to the top of the pierhead, i’d estimate to be at least 50 feet; so, i’d estimate the wave is at least 70 feet! Wow!!
