Winds & Waves

Hokusai wave

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.
