Our results show, within the statistical limits of the regressions obtained from our analysis when compared to measurements in swell free environments, that there is no obvious influence of swell on wind sea growth.
The traffic on Philadelphia Avenue was such; the sound of an engine and tires would swell like a gust of wind, the headlight beam would parabolically wheel about the papered walls of my little room, and then the lights and the sound would die, and that dangerous creature of combustion and momentum would be out of my life.

Peniche is a scrappy, industrial fishing port, but its location – a silted-up island-turned-peninsula with a full gamut of breaks that can handle virtually any combination of swell or wind conditions, and provide for any ability level – has made it a European surf haven.
The truth is that many waves sweep mass society that have no more explanation than the oceanic kind: a random blast of wind drives a swell, it snags on a rock, and then the wave crashes.
For a traditionally trained navigator, these inputs include physical signals from the sea, skies, and stars, memory signals from his knowledge of star, swell, and wind compasses; and cultural knowledge recorded in chants, dances, and stories.
From on-high the city is a swell of organised chaos, the winding River Thames and swathes of railway lines dissecting an otherwise refreshingly green metropolis with a happy jumble of historic landmarks and modern edifices.
It's a soft, clear morning, with not a breath of wind, and a north swell looks to have sneaked in overnight.
The wave -- he is waiting for the perfect match of wind, and weather, and swell and far-off storm to make an appearance.
Since the summer began, the lack of wind and the few ocean swells have meant the temperature has climbed steadily.
