whitecapped
Crested with foam
Whitecapped describes waves topped with white foam, the kind that form when wind whips water into crests that break and tumble: whitecapped waves rolled toward shore.
The term evokes rough or choppy water conditions, often seen on oceans and large lakes during storms or strong winds.
