Tech/Engineering - Ships, Sailing, Maritime
English term or phrase: offshore swell
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
