Have you ever wondered where surf-ing waves come from, what makes every wave dif-fer-ent, why some peel per-fectly and oth-ers just close out; why, some days, the waves come in sets and other days they don’t, and how the tides, the wind and the shape of the sea floor affect the waves for surf-ing? If you have, this book is for you. Now in its third edi-tion, Surf Sci-ence is the first book to talk in depth about the sci-ence of waves from a surfer’s point of view. It fills the gap between surf-ing books and waves text-books, and will help you learn how to pre-dict surf. Surf Sci-ence is also a use-ful intro-duc-tion to ocean-o-graphy and the sci-ence of waves. You don’t need a sci-entific back-ground to read it – just curi-os-ity and a fas-cin-a-tion for waves.
