A swell, in
the context of an ocean, sea or lake, is a series of mechanical waves that
propagate along the interface between water and air and so they are often
referred to as surface gravity waves. These series of surface gravity waves are
not generated by the immediate local wind, instead by distant weather systems,
where wind blows for a duration of time over a fetch of water. Source
