Fish Tails (tales?!) is right on. It is the distance between the crests. Three hours of steady five footers was a tough crossing (Strait of Georgia last April) but the boat handled it well. I turned it around last winter with eight footers ahead. We left the boat in the San Juans and took the Parakleet (area water taxi) across. Rescued some fool kayakers in the middle of Rosario that day. They were not having fun.
We do not have swell in the Puget Sound - except in the Straight of Juan de Fuca at times. Waves can tend to get close together. When the windshield is green, you should have already turned around! Actually, speed of the boat is an important factor to. I was 9 to 10 kts in my crossing of St. of Georgia and rolled right over all - er, most of the waves!
