In Hawaii they have Hawaiian scale where they measure from the back of the wave. What about on the west and east coasts of the mainland?

Dont get fancy with the answers. Just tell me if they measure waves from the front or the back on the west and east coasts of the US

NO FANCY ANSWERS!!! If the surf is 2-4 feet, is that measuring from the front of the wave or the back of the wave?

Assuming you mean measuring wavelength, it doesn't matter, as long as you are measuring from the same point on each wave.

Do you measure your height from bottom to top or top to bottom?
