How Waves Are Made?
1. Waves are mainly a product of the wind.
2. Wind is the first step in the formation of surfable waves.

3. Local shore winds can also produce waves, but they can also destroy the quality of the breaking waves.
4. Swell comes from miles away and the ground wind works as a pause hold effect on the top of the surface.
5. Off shore winds are a sort of a counterbalance.
6. More waves are generated by the power of the gusts.
7. If low pressure winds affect a very large area of the ocean, all waves produced by the swell will have more energy and power.
8. Swells will be bigger because energy is gathering in all waves produced.
