The term for the distance over which wind blows uninterrupted is called "fetch". Fetch is used in relation to areas of open water where winds can generate waves.
fetch
An example of fetch in waves is the distance over which the wind blows uninterrupted to create waves. The longer the fetch, the larger and more powerful the waves can become.
Three things that affect the size of waves are wind speed, wind duration, and the fetch (distance over which the wind blows uninterrupted). Stronger winds, longer duration, and longer fetches tend to produce larger waves.
prevaling winds
Three things that affect the size and energy of a wave are the wind speed, the duration of the wind blowing, and the fetch (the distance over which the wind blows uninterrupted). These factors determine the amount of energy that can be transferred to the water, resulting in different wave heights and strengths.
A steady wind that can produce a series of waves is called a fetch. Fetch refers to the distance of open water over which the wind blows in a constant direction. As the wind blows over the water surface, it transfers its energy to the water, creating waves that travel in the direction of the wind.
It is called the Monsoon
That was a sea breeze.
the length of water over which the wind has blown is called the fetch
