Mud Hole
Deep and dark, the Mud Hole is the Hudson River's channel from a time when the oceans were much lower. Today it collects all the silt and sediment that the river carries out to the sea, making it a very fertile fishing ground, frequented by pelagic fishes and sharks. The contour shown on the chart is not any particular depth, but do give an idea of the location.

Winds are named for the direction they blow from, not to. Therefore, a west wind blows out of the west, toward the east.
Waves are created by wind. The factors in the mechanics of wave creation are wind speed and direction and fetch. Fetch is the distance over which the wind acts on the water. The longer the fetch, the greater the wave-building action. Similarly, the greater the wind speed, the greater the wave-building action.
