HYDROGRAPHIC REFRACTION, TAKEOFF & EXIT CHANNEL PROFILE

Beach & Reef Bottom Profile

Bølgens Opførsel (Sandbund (Strandbreak)): Langperiodiske dønninger (10s+) brydes med det samme mod den undersøiske vulkanske sokkel og samler 45 kJ bølgeenergi i takeoff-zonen, mens bølgen ruller rent. Den tilstødende kanal leder vandet væk uden at trække surfere ind i nedslagszonen.

1. GYLDEN REGEL FOR IND- OG UDGANG

Walk straight in and out on soft black sand next to the Seixal harbor jetty. When the open North Coast is huge (2.5m+), the breakwater filters the swell into clean 0.8m–1.2m waves inside the bay.
