## Caption

The energy that powers big waves, like these ones on #Hawaii’s North Shore, is fed into the #ocean by the #wind from huge storms thousands of miles away from where the swell will break. This #energy then travels through the ocean, until it meets the right kind of #beach to create a monster #wave.
