Wave Convergence

What?

Watch two (or more) waves converge on each other in the ocean, a lake, or river.

Why?

It’s a powerful, awe-inspiring act of nature.

How to?

  1. Go to the beach, one typically with a headland, jetty, or cliff where waves can bounce off of it.

  2. Watch the waves converge over and over.

  3. Be present, and enjoy the show.

Protips:

  • Always be careful near waves. It can be deadly. The ocean is powerful and deserves respect. It doesn’t care how many Instagram followers you have.
