Although the wind is usually what creates the swell, the "local" wind does not necessarily coincide with the wind that created the prevailing swell. The "local" wind can oppose the swell to decrease the height of the swell, or it may reinforce the swell. It depends on the speed, direction, and fetch of the "local" wind. 4, record 10, English, - swell

The vertical motion of the swell translates to horizontal motion underwater, or as we call it-surge. The greater the height, the greater the surge, and thus the more silt is stirred up off the bottom to decrease visibility. 4, record 10, English, - swell
