But for the most part, some data may be missing. And it's important factors in the ocean that will really impact how waves break. This leads us neatly into wave refraction. It's probably a term you've ...

Now, in terms of ocean waves, refraction also involves a change of direction when a wave experiences a shift in wavelength and wave speed. However, this shift generally occurs due to changes in ...

This is refraction, and the way a wave breaks can also be impacted by what's going on under the surface on the ocean floor. So every surf spot in the world has its own unique footprint.

A new study finds that winter wave heights have increased along California's coastline as human actions have warmed the world's climate. Bigger waves are a threat to the already vulnerable coast.
