On Christmas Eve, a surfer from Santa Cruz rode a wave at Mavericks that witnesses say was over 100 feet tall, which would set a world record. But how do you reliably measure a wave?

One of the biggest waves in the world broke at Mavericks near Half Moon Bay during a jaw-dropping swell this December. Big ...
