A little less, but 8-9 meter waves are common in storms and up to 25 m (80 feet) has been measured. I think a large cruise ship was hit by such a wave a couple of years ago and lost all controls when the bridge windows broke...

This was between Corsica and Mallorca, where the Mistral winds can be pretty naughty.
