In the discussion for the last advisory for Igor, they say this about the 12 foot seas radii:

"THE 12-FT SEAS RADII PROVIDED BY THE OCEAN PREDICTION CENTER ARE 480
NE...900 SE...1320 SW...AND 380 NW.  RADII IN THE FORECAST/ADVISORY
ARE LIMITED TO 995 N MI...BUT 12-FT SEAS ARE ACTUALLY OCCURRING AT
A GREATER DISTANCE THAN THAT."

It's so large, the system is not designed to handle a number that big.
