The time between wave crests, known as the wave period, can vary depending on the size and type of the waves. In general, the period for most ocean waves ranges from about 5 to 20 seconds. So, if you were sitting in a boat as these waves passed by, you might experience wave crests every 5 to 20 seconds.
