Question 2809 Deck General

The correct answer is B) To the east of you. The increase in wave period from 5 seconds to 15 seconds indicates that the storm generating the swell is located to the east of the MODU. Longer period waves are generated by distant storms, and the direction of the swell is an indicator of the storm's location relative to the MODU. The other options are incorrect because a storm to the north, west, or south would not generate the observed eastward swell. The location of the storm relative to the MODU is determined by the direction of the swell, not the direction of the waves themselves.
