Book Reviews of Surf Science: An Introduction To Waves For Surfing
Book Review: Great book for getting better sessions
Summary: 5 Stars
If you live on the west coast of Australia, you won't need this book. (Although you'd learn why). Most other places this book is a MUST read for planning out and getting better sessions. I'm 40ish and just really starting to figure out where and when to score great waves. Don't waste your life missing the best waves of the year because you're unaware or uninformed.
Summary of Surf Science: An Introduction To Waves For Surfing
Have you ever wondered where waves come from? What makes every one different, why some peel nicely and others just close out? Why, some days, waves come in sets of six and others in sets of three, and what factors affect the behavior of a surfing break? If you have, this book is for you. Now in its second 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. You don't need a scientific background to read it--just curiosity and a fascination for waves.Reference Books
