I found some good info on this question here:

This addresses questions of height among many Tolkien characters including Thingol, the Númenoreans, the declination of height with decreasing noble lineage, and the upper/lower limits on some of Middle-Earth's tallest mortals and elves (with citations in "The Unfinished Tales of Númenor", "The Silmarillion", "The Peoples of Middle-Earth", and a few JRRT letters).

In summary these are some estimates given:

• Thingol ~ lower limit probably about 7'6 - 8' tall

• Turgon ~ lower limit just under Thingol

• Argon (son of Fingolfin) ~ lower limit at or under that of Turgon

• Elendil ~ said to be 7'10 in one reference but "about 7 foot" in another.

• Galadriel ~ considered to be "man height", which by Tolkien, was 6'4

• Aragorn ~ 6'6

• Boromir ~ 6'4

• Most men of Noble Numenorean blood during the 2nd Age ~ 7' was common

• Ñoldorean Elves were of the tallest brood (Thingol was an anomaly - as he was Teleri)

• The Men of Gondor's stature had declined along with purity of blood through the 3rd age

• Men of the South and Easterlings should be of slighter stature as they are descended from the Dark Men who have always been allied with Morgoth & Sauron, and never had any part in the "Gift of the Vala" to the Númenoreans.
