.I believe it is anti-nodes
The highest point of a transfer wave is called the crest. It is the peak of the wave where the water is at its highest level.
The highest point of a light wave is called the crest. This is where the amplitude of the wave is at its maximum, representing the peak intensity of the light wave.
That point is called a 'node'. The point(s) of maximum amplitude, on the other hand, are called quite logically 'antinodes'. The wave is called a "standing" wave, not because it stands still; it does move vertically, but not horizontally. As a sidelight, a book from the golden age of science fiction (when such fiction was still related to science) by J.G. Ballard called Chronopolis postulated a space-time continuum structured as a standing wave surface, whereupon stable time is possible at the nodes.
bla bla blah? Wht am I talking about? Oh yes, the answer Tide? XD

The highest point on a transverse wave is called a crest. Also, the lowest point is called a trough.

The highest point of a wave is called the crest. It is the peak of the wave where the amplitude is the greatest before it breaks or subsides.
The highest point of a transverse wave is called the crest. It represents the point of maximum positive displacement from the equilibrium position.
Antinodes are the points of maximum amplitude on a standing wave.
The lowest point of a wave is called the trough, while the middle point where the wave is at its highest is called the crest.
The highest point of a transverse wave is called the crest, while the lowest point is called the trough.
