SWELLS - GOOD TO SURF
South-South-East to South South-West
- Wave height in meters = (H1/3 in
meters) x L x 1. For the calculation of the wave
height, the coefficient "L" depends on the wavelength
of the swell. Use 1 for short swell, 1,5 medium swell
and 2 for long swell.
- Wave height between 1 and 3 m good
conditions.
South-West
- Wave height in meters = (H1/3 in
meters) x L x 0.7
- With a wave height between 1 and 3 m,
the spot is good.
