Tides can be predicted fairly well, but there are surprises here and there.

Thanks to WaveWatch, originally developed in the late 1980s in the Netherlands, surfers know when to go with greater accuracy.

A wind blowing at 34-40 knots for 36 hours will produce a 14-second swell period and waves of around 37 feet.

Wave speed matters. Here are a few simple equations that can tell you a lot about a groundswell and when it will reach your favorite surf break.

We know surfers can ride wakes created by moving ships. But what are the interesting and curious facts behind these types of waves?

If a weather map shows a 30 kilometers per hour wind (that's 8.3 m/s) blowing across 200 kilometers of open ocean for several hours, you'll probably get around head-high surf.

Have you ever wonder why exactly there are so many massive swells pounding the East Coast of USA and Europe during the cold season in the Northern Hemisphere? Here's the answer.

As they travel across open seas, ocean waves perform an orbital-like, synchronized, vertical, and horizontal dance.

The idea that a massive Nazaré wave is just pure energy in motion and not matter seems almost like an optical illusion.

Surfboards = engineering you can ride 🌊🏄♀️
PU or EPS foam for float
Fiberglass + resin shell for strength
Wood or carbon stringers for structure
Fins, wax, and grip to steer + stick 💥
Materials matter—even at the beach 😎

The number of forces at stake in surfing is such that it is pretty surreal how humans can ride a wave.

There are a lot of random events taking place between the birth and breaking of a wave, making a surfer's ride an even more unique and rare moment.

Waves are a product of the wind. But are wind speed and wave height under a linear equation? The answer is actually quite surprising.

🏄♂️ 🌊 Pro surfer and researcher Cliff Kapono recently referenced #URIGSO oceanographer @nickpizzooceans.bsky.social’s work when debating a key question: bottom turn or highline for maximum acceleration?

King tides may only occur one, two, three, or four times a year but can have devastating impacts on the coastline.
