Une vague est une autre onde, générée parfois à des milliers de km de l'endroit où elle va exploser. L'onde de vague poursuit son chemin, déviée ça et là par un haut fond, par un courant contraire ou par le vent. Arrivée à proximité de la grève [...] le fond de l'océan remonte, les courants latéraux à la plage agissent et les vents de terre peuvent influer [sur l'onde]. L'onde maritime qui jusque là se propageait de manière rectiligne commence à être chahutée et perturbée dans sa progression. Elle qui faisait le dos rond et portait le nom de houle, commence à se garnir d’écume à sa crête, à se creuser en son flanc, jusqu'à ce que les lois de la physique des fluides l'obligent à se briser dans un tumulte assourdissant. 2, record 1, French, - onde%20maritime
