How Waves Are Made.
- Waves are mainly a product of the wind.
- The best waves for surfing are the result of the interaction of winds on the surface of the ocean, far away from the coast.
- Wind is the first step in the formation of surfable waves.
- Local shore winds can also produce waves, but they can also destroy the quality of the breaking waves.
- Onshore winds are typically known for creating choppy and bumpy waves because their effect is added to the direction of the wave.
- In a way, offshore winds are a sort of a counterbalance.
- Swell comes from miles away and the ground wind works as a "pause-hold" effect on the wave face, allowing longer unbreakable waves.
