Ocean Waves are pretty spectacular, great fun and can be really dangerous sometimes. I have always wanted to learn how to surf because it looks like fun and a lot of adrenaline.
Normal ocean waves are cause by the wind pushing the surface of the ocean. As the pushing continues it forms a crest in the water and this travels till it reaches shallow water or land, where the crest moves faster than the water under it and it breaks, causing the rolling waves we see and people surf. Who knew wind could create something like a wave in the ocean.
