Hi Bruce
As far as I remember, most of the time the horizon, though difficult to define exactly because of its irregularity, remained in the same place and then suddenly rose or fell (and not because I leant on the tripod!). When I have time, I will see if there is indeed a periodic rise or fall, but I am inclined to think that if there had been I would have adopted some sort of averaging process. At the time, we were in the middle of a large area of high pressure and there was no wind to make my anemometer rotate, so practically no waves to superimpose on the swell.
