Wave in the ocean is never still. Whether observing from the beach or a boat, we expect to see waves on the horizon. Waves are created by energy passing through water, causing it to move in a circular motion. However, water does not actually travel in waves. Waves transmit energy, not water, across the ocean and if not obstructed by anything, they have the potential to travel across an entire ocean basin.
Waves are most commonly caused by wind. Wind-driven waves, or surface waves, are created by the friction between wind and surface water. As wind blows across the surface of the ocean or a lake, the continual disturbance creates a wave crest. These types of waves are found globally across the open ocean and along the coast.

I had to read-up about these concrete blocks that protect our coastline, and found the information below courtesy of Claire Fulton:
"What started with the toss of bones in African child's play culminated in one of the world's most successful coastal engineering inventions. Dolosse - branching concrete blocks weighing up to 30 tons - are used across the globe to break up wave action. They were the invention of East London harbour engineer Eric Merrifield after a storm ripped into the Eastern Cape coast of South Africa in 1963 and tore off 60% of East London harbour's armour. Go to Eastern Cape Madiba Action Merrifield wondered if the breakwater would have been more resistant if it had not been solid and taking on the full force of the thundering surf on just one plane. He decided to reconstruct the breakwater using a "porous" design to dissipate the water's energy. Thus the dolos was born and a momentous novelty in harbour engineering took off."
Just wanted to show off the color matching and my first batch of Geonosis figs. Many more custom prints coming in the future. ^_^

Some wave action at Petrel Cove, South Australia.
I only saw it when I got home but there is a distinct S shape letter in the wave.
This area is definitely not for Surfers with lots of jagged rocks nearby.
I did look up Surfer terminology and there are at least 24 slang words, starting with the letter S, to describe various surfing aspects.
checked out cape spear,most easterly point of land in north america,looking for the snow buntings.
no luck with the bunting but the verry large waves coming in was a real show.this is a small one but
liked the hart shape in the wave
