Book excerpt: This report is intended for the Navy Meteorologist (and Aerographers mate) who is called upon to make surf forecasts for amphibious operations. It discusses in a basic and introductory manner: (1) waves, their properties and characteristics; (2) surf, its cause and effect; (3) forecasting surf conditions for the case of a straight and parallel beach. The concluding section points to the need for further research in the field. (Author).
Download or read book Surf Science written by Tony Butt and published by Alison Hodge Publishers. This book was released on 2014-03-25 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have 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.

Download or read book Swell written by Evan Slater and published by Chronicle Books. This book was released on 2012-05-09 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wave watchers around the world know that no two waves are the same. 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. Surf journalist team Evan Slater and Peter Taras capture the essence of waves and the swells that produce them in this breathtaking collection of wave photography. Slater characterizes four distinct swells from different corners of the globe and traces their journeys throughout the year from storm to seashore. His reflective, informative essays amplify these powerful images of hundreds of waves frozen in time, beautiful, simple, universal, yet wholly unique—and the best thing to watch on the planet.

Download or read book Wave and Surf Forecast Model Evaluation for Use on a Micro Computer written by Lee Earl Devendorf and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sea swell and surf model is implemented in BASIC, tested and evaluated on a micro computer (HP-9845B). The two-dimensional model includes spectral wind-wave generation in open water, and shallow water wave transformation over irregular topography. The model predicts surf zone width, breaker lines and types of breakers. Using change in momentum flux of gravity waves (radiation stress) as forcing, the model predicts current velocities within the surf zone. The model is evaluated for the conditions over constant depths and uniform sloping beaches. The numerical results are checked against accepted theory and field observations. The model is found to overbuild wind generated sea heights for a 30 kts wind but to give expected wave heights for a 15 kts wind. The model results compare well with observed nearshore wave heights but give poor location of breaking waves. The model's nearshore current calculation is found unsuitable for the HP-9845B due to computational instability and time requirements. The sources of the model's problems are identified, and recommendations are made for future improvements of the model.
