The energy in the wave is measured by the wavelength and height, the higher the wave crest, the deeper the orbit of the water column. It is something like a log rolling down a hill. As the energy wave passes, the water column below the wave orbits in place, bulging at the top and dipping in the trough. As the wind pushes the water, the waves begin to travel and take on some uniformity building into swells.Ĭuriously and counter-intuitively, waves in the open ocean are not moving large bodies of water forward the water only reacts to energy spiraling through it. Bursts of moving air press down on the surface of the sea, transferring some of the wind energy to the water and forming the wave. Wind moves from cooler dense areas (high pressure) to warmer less dense areas (low pressure). For the most part, ocean waves are generated by wind in the open sea. Ocean waves, like all waves (sound, electric, radio…) move energy. And with the help of the Internet, I learned some things about them. Standing at the tide line on Playa Blanca near Barra de Potosi, feeling the salty spray on my skin and face and sensing the power of the waves, I mused about the forces of nature that bring waves and shape our coasts. Here along Guerrero’s Costa Grande, the emerald bay of Zihuatanejo, the long curve of Playa Blanca into Playa Larga, the stretch of soft sand that is Ixtapa, and the rocky beaches of Troncones the tropical water is always warm and the beaches call out for walks and beachcombing.
