The Intervals Between Waves

Mark Twain is quoted as saying,
Some German words are so long that they have a perspective"

Herzkreislaufwiederbelebung: CPR (literally: heart-circle-run-again-enlivenment)

In German, it seems the thing to do is to simply cram smaller words together
to make a a very specific word.

This comes to mind today because I want to find a word, a single word, for
"the intervals between waves experienced while wading in up to your chest."

I want a 3-10 letter word that captures that feeling of anticipation mixed with recovery.

I need a way to say that today is a day that I feel partially imobilized because I'm
still a bit dizzy and disoriented from the Previous and also a bit edgy and excited
because the Next coming very soon.
