Answer:

Swells are typically smooth waves, not choppy like wind waves. A swell is measured from the crest (top) to the trough (bottom). An ocean current is a continuous flow of water in the ocean. Some currents are surface currents while other currents are much deeper flowing hundreds of feet below the surface of the water.
