    Awesome dude...I grew up on Cocoa Beach and mostly raced motorcycles but I surfed just enough to say I knew how to surf but never spent the time to get good...I just retired a couple months ago and just bought a jeep to drive to the beach (I live in the Orlando metro area now) and am really looking forward to surfing...your tutorial was a perfect starting point. BTW when I was in college in the mid 80's I used to see Kelly Slater surf as a youngish teen boy....he was already damn good by then.

    You're great, dude. A lot of information. I am going to look this up and see if I can find some animations of how the ocean works--you got me thinking. Keep up the great work--I'm a body surfer and I want to get my timing right of when to go to the beach, the winds effects, etc. Great job.

    May I ask what period of wave wave breaks are distinguished between low tide and high tide in general or from experience? For example, under 8s is more good for low tide and ,above 10s , high tide is perfect. In my country beach, it is less 8s or above period wave. So what I feel is low tide cause wave break well.

    I have jus started surfing with the family and my wife is always worried about strong currents, am i rigjt in thinking that a plus 9 ft to a minus 2ft would have a very strong pulling current, as such a lare volume to move in a short space of time?

  • @fishmut

    Suffolk…. I would say if the tide time for the high and low has a big difference and short time say 6 hours something like that , yep strong currents depends where you are as well , good to pay attention , don’t want to get sucked out and not be able to get back in , it has happened here in Australia with kayakers and they had to get rescued so yeah pay attention to the currents strengths. 👍

    ***** depends on the break really...sometimes hi tide can be really soft and mushy, meaning more approachable, and sometimes hi tide means the waves will roll all the way in a dump close to the beach...and in other cases low tides can be more dangerous because it may expose rocks or make the waves steep and hollow...do some research on your local breaks...surfline.com and wannasurf.com can give a little insight

    centrifugal force is not a real force, and also the earth and the moon do not orbit each other, the earth orbits the sun and the moon orbits the earth. If my physics teacher sees this he will be mad.
