If you want to see the wave and wind action for the Gulf of Mexico buoys; here's the link:
http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/Maps/WestGulf.shtml

waves are currently at 25 feet+; wind speed 52 knt; gusts 64 knts; it takes a very long time to get on the site due to the number of hits.

Here's the wave plot vs time:

Look at these stats from a buoy in the mid gulf from the past 24 hours. Waves up to 40 ft, winds up to 56 mph sustained, gusting to 70 mph. Impressive as to what Mother Natire can stir up. And this was not even that big in size, compared to Andrew.
Be safe.
