Surfing 101: Understanding Ocean Tides and the Waves.

[@stevefowler2112]

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.

[@JuanRodrigoOConnell]

Eight years later, thanks for the 101 on surfing. Pura vida 🤙

[@martbergh]

heey, remember the norwegian girl in the water surfing with you while you was in Jaco for the lifeguard thing? well thats me, and actually I saw one of your videos before i met you, just didn't connect it! awesome channel and tips! maby ill step by in Hermosa one day! pura vida

[@charlieward7606]

very helpful man, very detailed but laid back and well spoken enough to be very understandable for us noobs :)

[@kurt2386]

I've been looking through a lot of surf tip vids to improve my understanding and you guys are by far the best/most helpful I've found. Cheers 👍

[@surfcoaches]

Thanks Kurt, stay tuned we will be putting out new videos every week covering new topics & tutorials

[@zachhaughey1600]

Thank you for helping me cram for my Earth Science exam tomorrow. Effective.

[@rockawilliam]

The Earth's spin causes diurnal and semi-diurnal tidal changes. You mentioned the Moon going around the Earth several times. Otherwise, this is a great video. Thanks for posting!

[@urbantreesteve2805]

Fantastic rundown man! Thank you

[@gabs0149]

This was so helpful I've been looking for a video like this for a long time!!!

[@McleoudphotosNet]

Killer stuff. As a new coastal resident and surfer this is awesome info. Thanks for all the vids!

[@lifeshuk]

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.

[@RicoCastro]

Awesome guys! I wonder what makes a person to dislike this video. Finally made sense. Excellent explanation.

[@patrickstephensp.i.5689]

And I apologize I don't know if I get just one question but I have another one is what would be the opposite or an anti-wave? Is there such thing as an anti-wave thank you look forward to hearing your explanation

[@camiloriano-galviz9851]

Great video. Thanks 🙌🏻

[@iantincangleed4702]

Great film, more please

[@jonnyjonjonjrshabadoo6565]

Appreciate this a ton. Well done

[@patrickstephensp.i.5689]

What are some things that slow down or inhibit waves from being as powerful as they should be?

[@memez4793]

Nice breakdown! So infomative for beginners much appreciated

[@ocdel9613]

Can you do a video of the best conditions for surfing barrels?

[@rickdownunder8904]

Brilliant presentation. Thanks

[@Primer595]

Nice video.I am actually trying to make sea defences so your video helped me learn a lot more about waves.I suppose a human being out in amongst the waves is the best scientific instrument with the best onboard computer too. Good luck and thanks again.

[@jimihendrixx11]

So an hour before or and hour after high/low tide is the key right?

[@kai1586]

Awesome stuff! It was like a cool geography lesson!

[@hkrider]

Thanks, very comprehensive

[@brendan3768]

Thanks Chief very helpful

[@CARBr6]

Great vid. Thanks so much. You explained that in a really clear way. Keep it up.

[@DanielleGabriella29]

Great explanation. Thanks!

[@embeen9547]

You have put Costa Rica on the map. Great Vids, keep it up.

[@JimmyNaraineOfficial]

brilliant channel, congrats!

[@Hnunya]

This is incredible

[@colejoc11]

Great instruction thanks!

[@suffolkdutch7797]

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. 👍

[@shelly.618]

You did this in one take good on you !

[@foobar_]

amazing, thank you!

[@rosspalesano8459]

Great tips, great videos.

[@ferrarigustavo]

Love all the lessons, but I'm not sure I got why low tides can be better for shorter period seells.

[@timothysmith3348]

Loved this. Thanks man.

[@andrewjohnporter]

Great info mate

[@FitzSturgill]

nice explanation

[@Howleebra]

Basically you want to catch the bump... put in right after low tide to catch the force coming back in

[@dodgedabullet670]

I'll let this marinate into my psyche! Wave knowledge!

[@joesefr.7756]

Thanks for the tips pal

[@swedo12]

Awesome content guys! Keep it coming:-)

[@malloryf-z3s]

very informative!

[@martinstorrier4481]

Hell ya! Well done sir!

[@mareygracer14]

The movie, Point Break brought me here🏄🏻‍♀️ I guess, the man surfing in the end of this movie knew he wasn’t gonna make it out🤷🏻‍♀️

[@maxmercz7574]

So what's safer low or high tide?

[@surfcoaches]

***** 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

[@jaysonfranswa3818]

good stuff

[@robakacanadianbob]

thanks that was solid!!

[@greenbongos]

This is great, THANK YOU! MAHALO!! Bought a shirt too! :-)

[@francoisl7663]

Thanks . Been watching these to determine when to go crabbing haha

[@anthonyandersen7813]

Bro what brand is that shirt

[@sophiewardman3348]

Thanks

[@VictorRomero-rv5dz]

i wanna start surfing but im from the city and i have no friends who love the ocean like me but i dont wanna be loner surfing how can i make friends in the surf without looking like a weirdo?

[@artisticagi]

Victor Romero just start surfing, I am sure new friends will come to you!!!! They will see you surfing alone and start talking to you. And don't be afraid to do things alone. You don't have to be held back from doing what you really want because of others.

[@epiclycoolguy7848]

Do a video about skimboarding. I know it's not actually surfing, but it'll be helpful to give a video.

[@rennedmonds]

👍🏽

[@paulhetherington3854]

36in-- a sec [10ftx36in]/-9in-15sec ---360ft in/135in sec=2ft sec frqs, 225ft sec/-24in=9in sec-- I found, your audio, because you, have my eyes-- looney toons.

[@zptro6316]

flat earth surfers are mad

[@willjay8028]

But what if you don’t believe in all of this round earth mambo jumbo 🙄.. can you please explain this in a flat earth context THANK YOU ! 🙏🏽

[@paulhetherington3854]

TID or TED' = eternal in HA'WY'---! You isn't a, surfer(slide) experience.

[@blakewang2373]

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.

[@mas96]

the earth is flat

[@brookemenendez9179]

Incredibly helpful. Thank you!

[@torstennoack6552]

Great explanation, thanks!

[@rosanephoenix7161]
