The painting depicts a group of young people in a boat caught in the titular ocean swell. The bright sunlit exhibits Hopper's enthusiasm for the sea, which can also be found in his other nautical paintings and seascapes – most notably his paintings of New England lighthouses such as Lighthouse Hill (1927) and The Long Leg (1930).[2][3][4] However, a sense of isolation pervades all of these paintings. In Ground Swell specifically, the loneliness of the boat and the rather ominous presence of a buoy signify themes of impending doom. National Gallery of Art curator Adam Greenhalgh writes that the painting possibly references the beginning of World War II, which occurred while Hopper was working on Ground Swell. The boat is sailing on a sunlit sea, with three passengers, two men and a woman, and another man at the tiller. The men are topless, with long white slacks; the woman wears a red kerchief over her hair, and a red halter top with dark slacks. The people pay no attention to each other as they are all focused on an ominous bell buoy bobbing on the rolling waves. The bluey green buoy with brown seaweed is the only dark feature in a scene dominated by bright blues and whites, its clanging bell warning of imminent but hidden dangers. Cirrus clouds in the sky herald an approaching storm hinted by the dark line of the horizon, perhaps influenced by Hopper's experience during the 1938 New England hurricane the previous year.
