What is a personification for the sea, or the waves that means it is quite loud?

Answer 1

Here are some ways you can personify the ocean.

You can personify the ocean as a god, like the Greek god of the seas Poseidon.

For example, The sea was an angry god and gave my face a salty slap as his tides, his demanding presence, rose dramatically.

If you want it to be gentle and playful, try this:

The ocean was begging to dance with me as it rose to my feet, and I, its willing partner, followed it deeper into the sea.

I created these personifications myself. I am sure you can come up with plenty of others. I hope this helps!

A personification for the sea or waves that implies loudness could be: "The sea roared with fury" or "The waves bellowed against the shore."
