Sea is like a mirror.
Ripples with appearance of scale, no
foam crests.
Short wavelets, but pronounced.
Very small waves, crests begin to
break.
Small waves, becoming longer,
numerous whitecaps.
Wavelets form on inland waters;
moderate waves, taking longer
form.
Larger waves forming, whitecaps
everywhere, some spray.
Sea heaps up; white foam from
breaking waves begins to be blown
in streaks along the direction of the
wind.
Moderately high waves of greater
length; edges of crests begin to
break into spindrift.
High waves, crests of waves begin
to topple, streaks of foam; reduced
visibility.
Very high waves; white streaks of
foam; reduced visibility.
Exceptionally high waves able to
hide medium sized ships from view,
reduced visibility.
Sea completely white; air filled
with foam and spray, very reduced
visibility.
