Experts say the Great Lakes can be more dangerous than the open ocean due to their volatile nature. Waves on the Great Lakes are steeper and closer together, causing choppy conditions and a rougher ...

As the early surf pioneers began to observe, and as advances in more recent wave forecasting has confirmed, there are a few ...

A unique ocean phenomenon off the Western Australian coast has gone viral online after a pair of Perth thrillseekers used a drone to capture it on video. Years ago, producer Chris White discovered the ...

Did you know some of the biggest surfable waves on Earth rise right here in Portugal? Yeah. These monsters can grow taller ...

When thinking of rogue waves breaking out in the middle of the ocean, for surfers at least, one liquid monstrosity comes to mind – Cortes Bank, the mythical big wave gauntlet breaking some 100 miles ...

Wave-induced mixing represents a critical process within the upper ocean, where the interplay of surface wave mechanics drives vertical transport of mass, energy and momentum. The resulting turbulence ...

Researchers from Australia’s University of Queensland have made a microscopic “ocean” on a silicon chip to miniaturise the study of wave dynamics. The device, made at UQ’s School of Mathematics and ...

Residents of Hawaii are breathing easier but remain cautious after tsunami waves from a powerful undersea earthquake off of Russia’s eastern coast were less severe than originally feared. Though they ...

The top layer represents the location of the sound source and the path of sound propagation (A). The bottom layers represent convergence zones with different sound propagation paths (B-F). Sound waves ...

Converting the power of water into energy is nothing new. Using ocean waves is. The power of the ocean could soon be used to power homes in the U.S. as scientists prepare to test an untapped form of ...
