ferry waves????

[irishsurfer]

been hearing rumours about a phantom wave coming out of the flat sea at Donabate, people claiming its from the ferry to holyhead. anyone else heard of ferry waves?

[Hang11]

Over one long flat summer in Shoreham, I scoped out the container ships going out of the harbour, figuring that there could be a wave off the wake as it went over the rocks inside the harbour wall.

There wasn't - not enough grunt in the wave that the wake produced, it just washed over the rocks. Ferries are a bit bigger, so maybe, but I would say it's doubtful.

Yep that same ferry arriving into hollyhead would make a wave along port Satwan.....







Also.. the ferry coming into Belfast makes a wave...
