I saw some pictures of ships on the roadway down there. I heard that there was a 16 foot wave. But, that was it. Some of these ships were pretty huge.

Looking for info . . . .

Not far below the map are links to "Observations and Forecasts" which is where I got the above info. Also links to an energy map and travel time map. But yes, Coquimbo, Chile had a 15.7 ft wave reported. Valparaiso was 5.9 ft, Talcahuano 3.9 ft. to round off the top three.

Lots of details in the advisory notices themselves, linked to on the above pages.
