Why do Boeing suggest landing parallel to the swells on the windward side of the swell when you would have a lower impact speed if you just flew directly into wind?
The last thing you want to do is to land head-on into a swell. Even with strong headwinds that slow down your landing speed, flying into a swell would be like running into a brick wall.

As a side note, who carries a seat belt knife.....
