An extreme alternative is Niji, a Japanese Restaurant inside the Hyatt Hotel which offers an opulent lunch buffet and a view of the ocean waves.
When the wind from the west meets the wind from the east, the sand is pushed upward like the ocean waves the dunes resemble.
For me, Bimini has always been a tranquil place to escape the commotion of big-city living, a sandy haven where I can sit and listen to the ocean waves gently slapping the shoreline.
Though larger than the neighboring bungalows all painted in the burnt umber that's de rigueur on the island their own residence is gracefully composed of two airy, soaring gray wood structures, with the ocean waves breaking mere yards from their bedroom window.
In addition, computers are faster and forecasters today have new tools in their arsenal, such as software that helps them predict the height of ocean waves and the interval between waves.
If the tide is high and the ocean stormy, waves roll into the springs.
They found that gravity waves "break" on the surfaces of planes, just like ocean waves breaking on the beach, causing much of the turbulence that occurs out of the blue in clear air.

They do not use fuel but instead convert energy from the ocean's waves, turning it into forward thrust.
This weekend, in addition to being the groundbreaking time when a national institution auctions off oversized goldfish, is also the time that we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Trieste descending to the bottom of Challenger Deep, the deepest point on earth 7 miles beneath the shiny waves of the Pacific Ocean.

At around 6:30, the rising sun slowly reveals the rolling ridges all around us that seem to move like ocean waves toward the flat Utah deserts to the west.
Fortunately, this means we finally get to say goodbye to the pebble look and feel: the edges are straighter from top to bottom, giving our fingers more surface to grasp onto, and the back cover fits flat on the faux-chrome edge instead of curving around it like waves of the ocean.
The Wave Glider is the first autonomous device to turn ocean waves into energy: a robot for the sea.
Once there, they use aerial photography and remote cameras in combination with depth-finding and global-positioning satellite technology (as well as some first-hand testing of the waves) to measure the waves and map the contours of the ocean floor under the breaks.
As the fins tap the energy generated by the up-and-down motion of ocean waves, they move to propel the robot at speeds of up to 2 knots.

Basically, the waves in the ocean have energy, and you use that to lower the temperature differential.
In the Madagascan data, for example, the choppiness of the waves in the open stretches of the Indian Ocean can be contrasted with the smooth reflection of the radar signal from the enclosed, calm waters of the Baie de Diego.
Ocean waves broke on the volcanic rock below, and we sat for a long while before heading back.
In McKinleyville, California, a wave swept three men into the Pacific Ocean as they were reportedly trying to take photos of the incoming tsunami waves, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.
To achieve such a performance, the ships will rely not on their mighty jet engines, nor on being long and thin, but on a revolutionary design to slice through the waves and float above the ocean's drag.
According to Teruyuki Kato, the project's leader, this arrangement can measure a buoy's vertical motion with an accuracy of a few centimetres, which will pick up dangerous tsunamis in the open ocean where they are mere ripples on the surface (they rear up into killer waves only when they reach the shallows).

What is needed are specific detectors that take advantage of the fact that tsunamis are felt throughout the ocean's depths, unlike wind-generated waves, which affect only its surface.
