Salt vs Fresh wave action

Kyle, My being neither scientist nor formally educated - Ebb
graduated 2nd from last highschool, and was kicked out of
Rutgers in his first year.
But I think the fetch of the Lakes has something to do with
the size of waves.. Wind creates waves of certain (limited)
height, not to say that certain seas in the contained bowls
of the Lakes won't be equally destructive. But not quite.

Oceans create swells from multiple events like hurricanes, tides,
typhoons, tsunamis. Waves build on the huge fetch of unlimited
water. I think bigger water bigger waves, nothing to do
with fresh and salt, but the room waves have to express
theirselves. Bigger waves want more room to be bigger.
Water being water bigger means longer. Water doesn't
compress, and being heavy has to express itself naturally.

I looked up the word Seiche, which describes the tidelike
action of water sloshing around in the Lakes essentially from
wind. Wind pushing water up onto one shore and it sloshing
back on another. There are no tides in the Great Lakes. But
like water it sure can get agitated at times. But surely, waves
spaced closer together, even if they're Fresh, are no more
ferocious than the more spacious Salt.
SIZE MATTERS
