The Backbone swell 2, 2018

The Backbone Swell (photo series / Pacific Ocean at Marshall Islands / 2018) The rilib swell is the strongest of the four ocean swells and was referred to as the ‘backbone’ swell. It is generated by the northeast trade winds and is present during the entire year, even when they do not penetrate as far south as the Marshall Islands. Marshallese considered the rilib swells to come from the east, even though the angle of the winds as well as the impact of the ocean currents varied the swell direction. Photo’s are made during a voyage on the Okeanos.
