How do whitecaps form?

Whitecaps form when wind blows across the surface of water, creating waves that become steep and break as they reach shallow areas or as their energy is dissipated. The crest of the wave collapses, producing foam and bubbles, which appear white, hence the term "whitecaps." This phenomenon is most commonly observed in open ocean conditions, where strong winds can generate larger and more turbulent waves.
