🔍 Key Concepts

• Sea state indicators such as whitecaps and waves • How local wind shapes surface conditions on the water • The difference between features controlled by wind aloft vs. surface wind

💭 Think About

• For each choice, ask: Is this feature directly shaped by the surface wind where the vessel is, or could it be influenced by distant weather? • Think about which of these signs reacts quickly when the wind changes and which may lag behind or be set by earlier conditions. • Which option is more related to general weather patterns rather than the immediate surface wind at your location?

✅ Before You Answer

• For each option, picture how it would look if the surface wind suddenly shifted 90°. Which ones would change direction quickly? • Identify which feature can be generated far away and then travel into your area without matching your local wind. • Make sure you can explain in one sentence how each remaining option helps you estimate wind direction at the sea surface.
