Another great book is "Waves and Beaches" by Willard Bascom.
It explains waves of all sorts, tsunamis, wind waves, tides, etc...
A little on the technical side but great pictures too!

EVER? With this last SW swell direction SHORES WAS HOLLOW, with a lot of closeouts. Yes it's USUALLY soft beachbreak, and have to go towards Scripps pier for a little better conditions. This past week, especially last Sunday, just the opposite, the pier was flat and shores was firing :wink: They're ...

I've had my rounds pounded there (L.J. Shores) for about 4 of the last 6 days. :oops: I don't know if I would call a lot of them A frames unless you see in fast forward.

When your arms are suddenly (maybe gradually?) two inches longer from carrying your kneeboards than they were when you USED to carry your surfboards.

I got a Niuhi pad too. It is pretty thick, with a nice beveled edge, grips very well, and doesnt retain much water even compared to the thinner pad I have on my other board. Mahalo Ed.
