HOW
TO PREDICT A SWELL FROM WEATHER CHARTS
Look for
a storm and verify it will be in your swell window.
Regularly review atmospheric models that depict both surface
pressure and winds (like the AVN or MRF). Look for periods
when winds are forecast to blow in excess of 25 kts towards
your beach for longer than 24 hours. Then verify that the
winds
are forecast to be positioned within your swell window .
The best situation is to have high winds, covering a large
fetch
area, blowing at you for a long time. But only experience
will
determine what the requirements are for your beach.
A 'swell
window' is the part of your ocean that provides a swell
unobstructed, straight-line access to your beach (even 1000
miles
or more away). Get a globe. Locate your beach. Identify islands,
shoals, land, or anything that could obstruct a swell from
proceeding
straight into your beach. Using a string and a pin, tie the
string to the
pin, and stick the pin into the globe on your beach. Using
the string
as a guide, pull it tight and out into the ocean away from
your beach.
Move the string in different directions along the surface
of the globe.
Wherever the string first touches the edge of land (or anything
that
would obstruct a swell), trace the line of the string onto
the globe
using a pen. If you have access to "Great Circle"
charts, use them
instead. All beaches will have at least 2 boundaries to their
swell
window, and if islands are present, perhaps many more.

"Jaws"
(Pe'ahi) is the name given to a big wave surfing reef break on the
island of Maui in the U.S. state of Hawaii.[1] It is located on
the northern side of the island between mile markers 13 and 14 on
the Hana highway and sits at the base of rolling sugar cane field
hills.
The surf break, a deep water reef break, is called "Jaws"
due to the size and ferocity of the waves. The waves at "Jaws"
can reach heights of 70 ft (21.3 m) on the face of the wave, moving
as fast as 30 mph (48.3 km/h).
The "Jaws" surf break is the home of "tow-in"
surfing and has reached its worldwide watersports fame largely due
to the frequent filming and photography of tow-in surfing legends
performing there on enormous ocean waves breaking at the deep reef
off the shore; famed big wave surfers such as tow-in surfing pioneers
(also known as "The Strapped Crew"-for the rubber straps
on their short surfboards to anchor their feet against the forces):
Laird Hamilton, Dave Kalama, Darrick Doerner, Buzzy Kerbox, Brett
Little, Rush Randle, Mark Angulo, Mike Waltze, Pete Cabrinha, and
Brian Keaulana.[2]
In order for the surf at "Jaws" to reach its extreme heights,
many specific ocean and weather conditions must prevail concurrently.
Because ocean swells large enough to produce this kind of surf occur
only during winter months, primarily between December and February,
they typically coincide with very strong winds which have a large
effect on the surf. Other swells, particularly the small but powerful
trade wind swells, can make the surf choppy and difficult to ride.
There are several other surf spots around the world that boast similar
wave heights, however "Jaws" is famous for its wave forming
quality. The reef and rocks at "Jaws" are shaped in a
way that magnify incoming swell energy and produce clean and well
defined right and left-directional waves with gigantic barreling
(hollow, air-filled wave interior) sections. |
