Texture
adjective - Texture means rough, choppy, lumpy or bumpy conditions in an open water venue. Rough water with texture is a description of disturbed, choppy, turbulent water at the surface of the open bodies of water caused by wind and waves. The frequent, irregular wave action is irritating to open water swimmers because it can impede forward movement and can reduce visibility from the surface of the water.
