The closest I could get without going through unreasonably dense bushes was the vista point on the Brooks Creek Trail 1000 feet north of the falls. It might be taller than what I've measured due to parts that are hidden in bushes. It may have a trickle of water most of the year, but it's only worth seeing for a couple of days after several inches of rain.

Visible from the Montara Mountain trail just before it starts up the steep rocky section. The waterfall is about 140 yards southeast of the view point. It probably continues down farther than I was able to see.
