the crests of ocean waves In physics, a wavefront is the locus of points having the same phase: a line or curve in 2-d or a surface for a wave propagating in 3-d.

Wikipedia. In physics, a wavefront is the locus of points having the
same phase: a line or curve in 2-d or a surface for a wave propagating
in 3-d.
A typical example is the crests of ocean waves forming wave fronts.
A skillful surfer, on the other hand, knows how to ride a wavefront
below the crest.




"Crests and troughs. Waves have moving crests (or peaks) and troughs. A crest is the highest point the medium rises to and a trough is the lowest point the medium sinks to. Crests and troughs on a transverse wave are shown in Figure 1."
