Sea
A large wave is so called. Thus they say, a heavy sea. It implies likewise the agitation of the ocean, as a great sea. It expresses the direction of the waves, as a head sea. A long sea means a uniform and steady motion of long extensive waves; a short sea, on the contrary, is when they run irregularly, broken, and interrupted.
