Ocean Spring oil by Bev Birdwell
“Beach Break” pastel by artist Kathy Esnard
- Pacific Ocean: The Pacific is the largest ocean in the world, allowing for a longer fetch. Winds can blow over vast distances without interruption, generating larger waves.
- The Pacific Ocean is influenced by strong, consistent wind patterns, mainly the trade winds and mid-latitude westerlies. These winds can produce powerful swells that travel long distances.
- The Pacific is prone to more intense storms, such as typhoons and hurricanes, particularly in the western Pacific. These storms can generate massive swells that travel across the ocean.
- The shape and orientation of the coastline can affect wave height. The Pacific coastline, for example, faces directly into the prevailing northwesterly swells, leading to bigger waves.
