a foamy crest
Whitecaps are large ocean waves that have prominent "caps" of white bubbles on their breaking crests.
Whitecaps or Breakers
Whitecaps appear white due to the turbulence of the water, which incorporates air into the waves. When waves break, the trapped air bubbles cause the light to scatter, reflecting white light back to our eyes. This scattering effect, combined with the frothy nature of the water, results in the distinctive white color of whitecaps.
swells vary and whitecaps are completely different
Waves have whitecaps when the wind causes the water surface to become rough and create bubbles and foam. These whitecaps are formed by the breaking crest of the waves as they move across the ocean surface.
Whitecaps on the ocean's surface are formed by strong winds creating waves that break and create foam, which appears white due to air bubbles and turbulence.
