DOWNLOAD EBOOKHave you ever wondered where surfing waves come from, what makes every wave different, why some peel perfectly and others 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 surfing? If you have, this book is for you. Now in its third edition, Surf Science is the first book to talk in depth about the science of waves from a surfer’s point of view. It fills the gap between surfing books and waves textbooks, and will help you learn how to predict surf. Surf Science is also a useful introduction to oceanography and the science of waves. You don’t need a scientific background to read it – just curiosity and a fascination for waves.

Yet each and every wave that rises, peaks, and crashes onto the beach is generated by a much larger force originating thousands of miles away.

Slater characterizes four distinct swells from different corners of the globe and traces their journeys throughout the year from storm to seashore.
