- Environmental considerations
The energy in ocean waves mainly comes in an irregular and oscillating form at all times of the day and night. Solar energy causes winds to blow over vast ocean areas, which in turn cause waves to form, gather, and travel huge distances to the shoreline of continents. The wave height, period, and direction are primarily dependent on the wind properties (speed, direction, and duration) and also the geometry of the sea (fetch length and depth). There ...
