Pondy Beach Waves

Beach waves, particularly at Auroville Beach, are an integral part of the beach experience, offering both visual and auditory pleasures. Here's some information about beach waves:
Characteristics of Beach Waves:
Types of Waves:
Swells: These are long-wavelength waves generated by distant weather systems, often producing gentle and rolling waves ideal for swimming and beginner surfers.
Wind Waves: Generated locally by the wind, these waves are usually shorter in wavelength and can be more choppy and unpredictable.
Wave Dynamics:
Breaking Waves: As waves approach the shore and the water becomes shallower, they slow down and grow taller, eventually breaking and creating surf.
Tides: The height and energy of waves can be influenced by tides. High tides may bring larger, more powerful waves, while low tides might expose more of the beach and produce smaller waves.
