They create what is commonly referred to as a ‘messy’ or ‘choppy’ sea. ‘Swell’ occurs in water some distance away from where the wind is blowing, or after the wind has stopped. “Once generated, the waves move away from their source,” says Dr Stephens. “The largest waves move the fastest, FROM ONLY FROM ONLY and as they move they separate out into $ 990 $ 995 ‘clean’ waves of a single wavelength, 49 +ORC 7 28 +GST +ORC 5 moving in the same direction.

The seabed effectively trips the wave up so the front of the wave slows down and the back catches up. The wave gets higher and steeper as a result, until it eventually collapses and the wave breaks. The steeper the seabed, the faster the wave will rear up and break.” The nature of the coast can affect the wave in a number of other ways too. “Sometimes a wave will ‘bend’ as it mazda.co.nzmazda.co.nz moves past a headland or into an enclosed cove.
