English term

offshore swell

English to Norwegian Tech/Engineering Ships, Sailing, Maritime
The jetty is exposed to the sea and affected by the prevailing swell. It is relatively exposed to all winds, but
particularly to easterly and northerly winds. The short isthmus, between the headland of Bass Point and the hills
to the west, forms a saddle. Easterly and southeasterly winds may be funnelled through the saddle creating a
local southerly offshore wind. There is some protection from sea conditions from the south-east, through south
to the west, although any offshore swell causes the ship to surge

agree Roald Toskedal : Skal man være utidig pirkete, kan det sies at dønninger ikke finnes annet enn på havet, så sånn sett kunne bare "dønninger" være dekkende, men det er altså bare pirk...
