Seiches are common between warm and cold-water layers, notably in Loch Ness, Scotland, and some evidence cited for the Loch Ness monster and the Lake Champlain monster (see also Lake monster and Sea monster) may trace to seiches.

Seiches often occur during earthquakes and may be caused by wind or underwater landslides.

Seiche is also a French term for a type of cuttlefish.
