What is meant by wave period? I know it is the frequency of waves, but I am confused since it is listed in seconds in the buoy reports.
So is it the time between waves, so a higher number, like 8 seconds or so, means more space between waves and calmer seas than, say, a 4 second period?
It's not waves per second is it? In that case, 4 would be better than 8 for calmer seas.
