    strong, long duration winds in a large fetch weak

    Explanation:

    A fetch is an area of the ocean or sea where wind blows in a fixed direction, this consistent wind leads to waves.

    Fetch length is the distance reached by the wave generating winds when measured in from a horizontal direction. The wind creates wave by forming a drag and a frictional drag, the wind the flow over the wave making it grow. Therefore, a strong, long duration winds in a moderate fetch or weak fetch will produce largest waves.
