G'Day,
       I'm embarrassed to say I also left out "PI" and a square in the 
equation for wave energy per unit width of wave. So it should have read 
(0.36*p*g*h*(V^2))/PI. Where p is sea water density, g is acceleration due 
to gravity, h is the horizontal peak to trough distance and V is the 
vertical peak to trough distance.

All the best, (and somewhat shamefacedly and hoping I've got it right this 
time)
