  1. ground swell

    Ground swell is a type of long-form ocean wave that originates in far-off oceans and moves in a steady and often predictable pattern, created by distant weather systems, where wind has blown for a duration of time over a significant distance. Such swells are typically more powerful and longer-lasting than wind swells, which are created by local winds. Ground swells are often the preferred types of waves for surfing.
