A ridge of water between two depressions. As waves approach a shore, they curl into an arc and break. The energy of surface waves is responsible for the erosion of the coast. Waves also initiate currents which run along the coast and which are the moving force in longshore drift. The height of a wave is generally proportional to the square of wind velocity.
