Búvárhullám

Búvárhullám, also known as a diver's wave, is a type of ocean wave that is formed when a wave breaks in shallow water, causing a strong, rotating current that pulls swimmers and surfers underwater. This phenomenon is most commonly observed in the surfing community and is often associated with powerful and dangerous waves.

The term "búvárhullám" is derived from the Hungarian words "búvár," meaning diver, and "hullám," meaning wave. The wave is characterized by its steep face and powerful backwash, which can create a strong, rotating current that pulls swimmers and surfers underwater. This current can be particularly dangerous for inexperienced swimmers and surfers, as it can quickly overwhelm them and cause them to be pulled underwater.

Búvárhullám is most commonly observed in the surfing community, particularly in areas with powerful and dangerous waves. The wave is often associated with the surfing culture and is often used as a metaphor for the challenges and dangers that surfers face. Despite its dangers, búvárhullám remains a popular and exciting wave for experienced surfers, who are able to ride the wave and use its powerful current to their advantage.
