What and when was the biggest wave recorded in Queensland?
The largest wave recorded in Queensland waters was a 13.1 metre wave recorded at the Environmental Protection Agency’s Brisbane wave recording buoy moored in 80 metres of water off North Stradbroke Island on 17 March 1993, during the passage of tropical cyclone Roger. At the time the wave was recorded, TC Roger was centred 420 kilometres northeast of the wave recording buoy.
