How far out at sea were you? And how did you know at the time?

How far out at sea were you? And how did you know at the time?
We were about 50 miles offshore, off the continental shelf (in very deep water) we got the information of the wave from our regular meteorological diligence, since it was my job to get our satellite weather and any notices to mariners on a 6 hour rotation.
I saw the wave on radar first, since it lifted ships that were below our horizon up to where they could be seen again for a few sweeps. But it just felt like A gentle lifting. I didn’t even feel the subsidence of the wave. Interestingly, ships 20 miles away from us but near the edge of the shelf reported isolated severe and chaotic waves.
