🔍 Key Concepts

• International Code of Signals (INTERCO) sea and swell state terminology • Difference between sea (locally generated waves) and swell (waves that have traveled from elsewhere) • Standard height ranges used for describing swell (in feet or meters)

💭 Think About

• Look at the numeric range 8–10 feet and think about where that fits compared with lower and higher swell categories in the Code. • Consider which of the terms listed in the choices actually refers to height range versus which describe character or surface condition of the sea. • Ask yourself whether the direction (from the northeast) changes the descriptive height category, or if it only adds information to the signal.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in the INTERCO tables which word corresponds to a swell height around 2.5–3 meters (8–10 feet). • Check which term among the options is used to describe wave/swell height, not sea confusion or roughness pattern. • Confirm whether "confused" or "rough" in the Code of Signals primarily describe state/appearance rather than a specific numeric height band.
