You need to do some reading... Water transfers energy like 2309843209483x more efficiently than any other medium.

 

^true. And the close it gets to shore it only intensifies

 

hence why we have thing called swells and waves..

 

Because the energy wave changes from slow and long to short and fast (broad and not high to very high and 'short') which creates the height of the wave. So a 6ft swell from an earthquake can turn in to a 30ft wall of watery death across the ocean.

 

Really? I thought it was just collectively called the "gnar."

Shred it.
