Surfing Waves

Hi everyone!

My name is Sara and I am Italian. I go to the British School and I am currently studying for the IB Diploma. As you may know, this requires me to write a 4000 words essay on one of the topics I study.

I am here because I decided to do my essay in Physics, and the research question is how good surfing waves are affeted by weather conditions.

I have never surfed before and I don't know any surfers in real life so right now I really need your help.

Any info that might be relevant? (e.g. ideal temperature, sunny/cloudy, humidity level, wind, etc)

Thank you all in advance!

That might take a long time, but while everyone else replies I thought I would shoot you a cool pic of a board I had made a while back when the CAD thing was a novelty, thought you might want to use it as a graphic since it's a physics class:

23C, bright but a little overcast, not ever so humid, 14 knots from ENE.
No other conditions will work, but that's a surfing secret. So if you put it in your physics essay, your teachers will be very impressed.
If you reference the Surfing Waves forum to show how hard you researched your topic, they'll be even more impressed.

From an Australian point of view...too cold is a real issue, Australians are known for having tiny dicks, and they love wearing banana hammocks pulled right up their arse cracks, anything below 23 degrees can turn it into an embarrassing case of male ct, front and back.

here, try this web site, should be most of what you need:

Also, for more graphic explanations that might be good for your report, here is a standard surf report:

Thanks everyone for the quick reply! I will for sure put this website in the bibliography of my essay

Hey guys, can anyone tell me the effects of tides on surfing please?? x

If the tide's out, it can be a much longer walk to the water.

Here try this - has a load of good articles on surf forecasting, some of which may help you in your search:

I cant help but think you're being a little mean. I dont point out others cos I dont know them, incase you're wondering

In answer to your question:

well, it really all depends.....

Its very complex, I would pick another assignment.
