Limit crest angle -> "Limite d'angle de crête"			The angle that cannot be exceeded before the wave breaking (c. 120 degrees). See also "Breaking wave", "Breaker index", "Breaker zone".
Linear sea -> "Houle linéaire"			The sea when considered as a superposition of many different linear wave trains travelling independently, i.e. without interacting. See also "Airy wave", "Airy theory".
Loops -> "Ventres"			See "Stationary wave".
Lower high water -> "Plus bas "Niveau de marée haute""	LHW		The lowest of the "Highest astronomical tide" levels of a tidal oscillation.
Lower low water -> "Plus bas "Niveau de marée basse""	LLW		The lowest of the "Low water" levels of a tidal oscillation.
Lowest astronomical tide -> "Niveau de plus basse marée"	LAT		The lowest tide level over the duration of "Tide periodicity".
Low water -> "Niveau de marée basse"	LW		The minimum height reached by a tide over a tidal oscillation. It corresponds to the trough of the "Tidal wave".
