Swell

A swell, in the context of an ocean, is a formation of long wavelength ocean surface waves on the sea. Swells are far more stable in their directions and frequency than normal oceanic waves, having often travelled long distances since their formation by tropical storms or other wind systems.

Swells are often created by storms thousands of nautical miles away from the beach where they break. This distance allows the waves comprising the swells to become more stable, clean, and free of chop as they travel toward the coast.

Hope it is useful to you for a better understanding of our Mother Ocean..
