4 Simple Ocean Observations to Improve Your Surfing
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 чер 2024
- In chapter 1 of the how to surf series, we learn how to read the waves and the 4 things to that determine the shape and power of the waves we surf.
We learn about these important factors:
- How wind affects the local texture of the water
- How swell is created and what numbers we want to see in the surf forecast.
- Why tides are important in shaping the waves.
- The sea floor, known as bathymetry, and why it is perhaps the most influential.

In the next video we'll get into the water and look at paddling, a vital technique that will get you catching more waves! - Спорт
The wind only blows offshore when I'm in work. Fact 😞
Yep as soon as I get off it turns onshore!
you must live in HB too :/
4:16 when someone touches their fingertips together like this, I listen with undivided attention.
As a life long surfer I knew all of this but I never had it presented in one short package like this. Very clear and to the point.
When I first started surfing, I spent 2 years without some of this crucial info. After a Hawaiian friend Sat me down on the beach & broke it down (very similarly to this video) my surfing exploded. Suddenly I was in the line up & getting real waves instead of the reform on the inside.
A couple years ago, I shared this same info with my son & he does so much better in the water now. Sharing this video with him for our next trip.
U must have watched The North Shore movie!
can you tell us what did they teach you?
@@lucasvelez5955 when the wave breaks here dont be there or ya gonna get drilled
@@ilitimotek come to hawaii and ask locals. they know everything
Awesome video, reading the waves can be one of the hardest bits to surfing, and you explained it perfectly. Thanks and keep it up
Probably the first video every beginner surfer or any one going into the drink should watch.
As a beginner surfer this was such a helpful video.
So I've been surfing about three years and can hold my own in pretty daunting conditions, yet I've learned a new perspective from this video, cheers mate!
Cool video man! As a dude who lives in the desert and just bought a surfboard, it’s a steep steep learning curve.
oh yes, but a satisfying one. Don't forget you can surf into your 70s at least!
I used to live in the hi-desert but then me and my family moved to slo in 2018 , so I’ve been able to surf a lot lately
😅
I'm glad he clarified because I thought that was a desert, and it was sandy and dry
Thank you bro! Great video! Love from Brazil!
I’m so happy I’ve found you and this channel. Very healthy sense of humour too. So informative thank you
Great video! I learned so much and have infinite more to learn. The relationship between the surface and the bottom is a game changer.
Looking forward to more videos from you.
Thank you! 🙏🏽

Add to these the ability to understand currents/rips and how they can be used to your advantage. One of the key differences between an ok surfer and a good surfer
yep! this is covered a bit in my video on paddling and getting out the back
such an amazing explanation! thank you

Great video mate!
Thank you for the great video!

Great video. Professional and relevant. Mahalo!
nice video. thanks for posting
Watching this and your other videos of waves as a painter...can never observe enough to learn of the anatomy of waves and many ...
Alot to learn....having a better understanding of the anatomy of waves will make one a better painter. ..remember it's a never ending learning process...
Beginners get the basics down....then choose your subject..and keep at it...
The late painter of the sea...E. John Robinson would so love to see today's generation how they film the ocean waves.....
Be safe out there ....
great video mate, thanks !

awesome tips bro...keep up the good work...
Nicely done
learnt a lot cheers mate
I'm from New York and I've never surfed before but I want to learn so bad! I'll be taking surfing lessons this summer. Thanks for this video! Learned a lot!
Look into Skudin Surf Long Beach NY 🤙🏄 I like their green light session....
Enjoy
A very nice video Surf Rat. I just want to add that the wave will break when the amplitude is 1.5 times the depth of the water (in front of the wave). So on a flat day, put on your goggles and survey the ocean bottom, and you'll know where the take off spots are. Pick out some reference points on land. This is a "trick of the trade" knowledge for competitive surfers. This is why some surfers always seem to be in the right spot. Cheers!
Great job on the video.
Cool videos mate, keep up the good work, will follow you!
Great video, thanks!
Good work fella 👍
Great video
Thanks man!!
Very good!
This is such a rad video! I love the addition of the drawing on the waves! Super helpful
great video thnx
What a cool video!
I love a hot onshore wind peeling back a wave.
Yeah man awesome video! I’m from Mexico and last month I lived on my near surf spot (made my surf quarantine over there) catch some good waves but I knew that I had to learn and understand more the ocean and the wave reading... now I’m back at home no ocean here just MTB and I miss the ocean A LOT! Looking at your video brought me that ocean feeling and I could understand better the wave breaking and current...
Saludos desde Mexico
If you want to surf here we have nice pipelines...🤙🔥🔥🔥
Orale wey!

Very didactic, you got my attention for the whole video, which is not given for a tutorial.

“16s is worth breaking promises” truth spoken.
I mean...you CAN surf closeouts. ;)

Eric Outram I thought so....Absolutely awesome and thanks!
only bodyboarders would surf it!
that's how I got really good at late takeoffs
Great video.
Great share, nice work dude, a lot of newbies to the sport will learn some excellent tips from this - shame to see the downers but you'll always get that when you take to the open forum.
Watched this while eating dinner fantastic tips.
