Surfing 101: Understanding Ocean Tides and the Waves. 

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

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

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

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.

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

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 👍

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.

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

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

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

Fantastic rundown man! Thank you

Incredibly helpful. Thank you!

Nice breakdown! So infomative for beginners much appreciated

Awesome stuff! It was like a cool geography lesson!

brilliant channel, congrats!

Brilliant presentation. Thanks

Great explanation. Thanks!

Appreciate this a ton. Well done

Loved this. Thanks man.

Great video. Thanks 🙌🏻

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!

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

Awesome content guys! Keep it coming:-)

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.

Great tips, great videos.

Great instruction thanks!

Great film, more please

Great info mate

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

very informative!

Hell ya! Well done sir!

This is incredible

Thanks Chief very helpful

Thanks for the tips pal

amazing, thank you!

You did this in one take good on you !

thanks that was solid!!

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

nice explanation

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.

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

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

good stuff

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

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

Thanks

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

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

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🤷🏻‍♀️

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?

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

👍🏽

So what's safer low or high tide?

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?

Bro what brand is that shirt

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

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.

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

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 ! 🙏🏽

the earth is flat

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.

Great explanation, thanks!

Thanks
