In the South Atlantic there is a vast area for waves to develop, and much energy, as well as thousands of miles of fetch, unbroken by land, for them to build. The southern oceans are known for their tremendous waves. The latitudes of the 50's and 60's south are known for their wild waters(the roaring 50's)
