Makena Davies · Answer 1

strong winds that blow for a long time over a great distance

weak winds that blow for short periods of time with a short fetch

Explanation:

When the winds are weak and blow for short periods, we experience the smallest ocean waves but when there are strong winds over a longer duration, the largest ocean waves are seen. Therefore, the conditions to produce the smallest and largest ocean waves are strong winds that blow for a long time over a great distance and weak winds that blow for short periods of time with a short fetch.
