What can be associated with big waves?

The sound of waves can be associated with the following.

The sound of spray is like the roar of a lion. The wind is blowing hard. The sea is surging, like a lion just waking up, crying, setting off waves and rushing to the shore. When it hit the rock, it stirred up waves more than ten feet high, as white as snow. The waves are constantly surging. The sky is gloomy, and the dark clouds are getting darker and thicker. Is it going to rain? All the ships at sea returned to the seaside.
