About Wave Watcher

Every wave you ride in this rhythm game is generated from a real NOAA buoy reading, which is why Hawaii's long ocean swells feel completely different from New York harbor chop — different amplitude, different frequency, different wavelength, even though both are "waves" in the same physical sense.

When two wave patterns overlap, they superpose — matching crests add up (constructive interference), a crest meeting a trough cancels out (destructive interference). That's the timing puzzle underneath the rhythm gameplay.
