There's no way to tell whether those waves are 20m or 20 inches high

Coast Guard quote:

“The wind and waves come up so quickly on Lake Erie that you can go from dead calm one minute to ten foot waves within ten minutes.”

“Erie is kind of our worst case scenario for weather – everything blows up much faster here. Ontario, being much deeper, tends to be much calmer. We’ll have three to four metre waves in Lake Erie whereas in Lake Ontario they’ll only be around one.
