people don't realize it, but France and Portugal have some of the best surf on the planet... The N. Atlantic average waves size is like 20-30ft... it's very rough. I went up there a few times when I was in the Navy... Waves were splashing up and hitting the hanger bay at over 60ft...

we do, have you seen the gulf coast of texas surf?

 

[madscientist]

we ave had some great surf this yr. just have not been able to ditch the kids to ride it.

now in reality our best clean surf is like double over head at best but just head + , just on average.

Texas is an east / south coast. we benefit from the south swells here as well. the trench is what makes us different from the rest of floridas west coast.

Tim, there are actually a good bit of days when the surf is 4'+ around the Pennsicola / Gulf Shores Areas.

 

[Matt_E]

Pretty short riders then.

I misunderstood his point that when it's good it's head+. I thought he meant on an average day it's head+.

lol.

if I were half my hight the surf would be good all the time.

 

[madscientist]

4' swell has A 6' face so it is head high. are we talking face height or swell? no one seems to get that straight when comparing waves.

not to mention it has to do with the transition of the bottom as to how fast the waves pitch to their peak.

are you riding the continental shelf? I'm riding sand bars.
