Source: Spells That Don't Suck
You create a giant, overwhelming wave at a point you can see, summoning a 50-foot long, 50-foot high, 10-foot thick wall of water. You can increase the casting time when casting the spell up to a maximum of 6 rounds; each round increases the wall’s size by 50 feet in length and height, and 10 feet in thickness (up to a maximum of 300 feet long, 300 feet high, and 60 feet thick).
The wall lasts for the duration. When the wall appears, each creature within its area must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 6d10 bludgeoning damage, or half as much damage on a successful save.
At the start of each of your turns after the wall appears, the wall, along with any creatures in it, moves 50 feet along the ground in a direction of your choice. Any Huge or smaller creature inside the wall or whose space the wall enters when it moves must succeed on a Strength saving throw or take 5d10 bludgeoning damage. A creature can take this damage only once per round. At the end of the turn, the wall’s height is reduced by 50 feet, and the damage creatures take from the spell on subsequent rounds is reduced by 1d10. When the wall reaches 0 feet in height, the spell ends.
A creature caught in the wall can attempt to swim through it by making a successful Strength (Athletics) check against your spell save DC. If it fails the check, it can’t move. A creature that moves out of the spell’s area falls to the ground.
