SWELLS - GOOD TO SURF
North to Northeast to East Northeast
- 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
wave length
of the swell. Use 1 for short swell, 1,5 medium swell
and 2 for long swell.
- Wave height between 1 and 4 m good
conditions.
Northwest to North Northwest
- Wave height in meters = (H1/3 in
meters) x L x 0.7
- With a wave height between 1 and 4 m,
the spot is good.
