 Current and Wave Direction
Current and Wave, in Theory
Current is a large movement of water in one general direction. Currents can be
temporary or long-lasting. They can be near the surface or in the deep ocean. At the
surface, currents are mainly driven by four factors, i.e. Wind, the Sun’s radiation,
gravity, and Earth’s rotation. All these factors are interconnected

Waves on the ocean surface are usually formed by wind. When wind blows, it transfers
the energy through friction. The faster the wind, the longer it blows, or the farther it
can blow uninterrupted, the bigger the waves. Therefore, a wave's size depends on
wind speed, wind duration, and the area over which the wind is blowing (the fetch)

See https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6705636573112766464/ and

the discussion on those posts. From the results in this presentation, we see that current
is unpredictable, it could happen from any directions ( 0 to 360 degree )
