the best book for understanding wavesApril 19, 2007 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
after surfing for many years i have a fair knowledge of weather and how waves are created but this book really helped me take a step up in my understanding. Easy to understand and a must buy for anyone interested in wave creation.

Once your hooked on a sport you need something to keep taking you further, this is what you need to take you from going to the beach and going... oh its flat but the bbc said 2foot choppy, too planning your surf trips a week in advance... to the time of the day to go. It will teach you what makes waves, what makes good waves and riding, why certain times of the day are better than others... your mind is the limit and this will take you a long long way.
Very valuble to any surfer or water go'er and a real interesting read. And thats from a bodyboarder! happy riding

This book i thought was going to be full of incoherent mumblings about fathoms and linear models but instead of a physics lessons i got very in depth, easy to comprehend information about waves. this helped me, as a surfer, understand the waves and which in turn brought my surfing to a whole new level. I fully recommend this book to anyone who has the slightest interest in the sea, whether you are a surfer of just a gazing out to sea kind of person!
