Remember, the length of your board is more dependent on your weight, ability, style of riding and preference than your height.
Most park riders like a smaller board for its easier manuverability and lighter weight. Most freeriders like longer boards for their stability. Go to a good board shop and ask the guys there what they think. Don't forget about your shoe size. This is important because if your board is too narrow your toes and heels will drag and if it's too wide it'll be harder to turn. Check out some of the links I gave you in your other question, I answered questions like this in more detail there.

Totally agree with the previous answer. I have heard that a good rule of thumb is that if you stand next to your board it should be between your chin and your nose, so it may give you a good starting point. However in the end your weight and your riding style are going to be the most important thing. One thing you might want to do is to find a day when you can demo a few different sized boards or a rental shop might let you try a few different board lengths over the course of the day.
Just for reference I'm 5'5" (165cm), 150lbs and currently ride a 155cm board. I guess I like fives!

i agree with the first guy. if u want to go faster u should get a longer board. if u want to be able to do tricks u should get a shorter board. I think u should get maybe a 145 cm
