#trappedwaves

What are trapped waves? Trapped waves are easy to miss if you only watch the surface. But beneath that surface, energy is bending, reflecting, and looping in a steady rhythm shaped by the seafloor.

What looks like a simple angled wave hitting the shore can actually set off a repeating journey. The energy moves out, curves back, and returns again, each time a little weaker, but still part of the same story playing out along the coast.
