- Destructive waves
- High frequency (10-14 waves /
minute)
- High and steep
- Powerful backwash
- Less powerful swash - material is removed
- Effected by
- Wind - stronger = large, powerful waves
- Fetch (distance of water over
which wind has blown to
produce wave) - greater =
bigger, powerful waves
