It\u2019s not always a bad idea to have a healthy fear of the ocean, as its magnitude and force is something that\u2019s difficult to comprehend. A perfect example of the ocean\u2019s power?

A cross sea occurs when different weather patterns produce different wave systems that travel at opposite angles. Instead of the waves all travelling in the same or similar direction, these opposing waves form squares.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although these waves may look peaceful and even surreal, they can actually be quite dangerous. Boats are designed to power through waves head on, but a cross sea doesn\u2019t provide a boat with this option. Because the waves are coming from four different directions, they can very easily cause a boat to capsize.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-5965 size-full\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5965\" src=\"https:\/\/homemaking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/cross-sea2.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 601px) 100vw, 601px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homemaking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/cross-sea2.jpg 601w, https:\/\/homemaking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/cross-sea2-300x200.jpg 300w\" alt=\"square waves in ocean\" width=\"601\" height=\"400\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">source:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/socialnewsdaily.com\/78106\/dangerous-ocean-square-waves\/\">Social News Daily<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cross seas aren\u2019t just dangerous for boats, either. They produce powerful riptides which have the potential to cause swimmers and scuba divers to drown. Although cross seas don\u2019t happen all that often,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/homemaking.com\/maka\/avoid-spots-with-no-waves-rip-current\/\">it\u2019s important to be able to recognize one<\/a>\u00a0so that you can protect yourself from their effects. We don\u2019t need to be terrified of the ocean, but we need to have a healthy respect for mother nature\u00a0\u2014 in all of her different forms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The ocean is a vast, powerful force that we need to treat with respect.
