It’s just really hard to follow google maps navigation when there’s no roads and some big waves.

edit: ffs :)

No, there were probably waves.

+1 for pedantry.

I’ve edited my comment to add an Oxford comma, because I know everyone likes those.

That's not an Oxford comma. Oxford commas (also known as serial commas) are for lists that contain more than three terms.

You should just replace the "and waves" with "but there are waves" or something like that.

"waves and no road"

Now it's worse.

"Waves and no road" is what you're looking for.
