HYDROGRAPHIC REFRACTION, TAKEOFF & EXIT CHANNEL PROFILE
Beach & Reef Bottom ProfileDinamica dell'Onda (Fondale Sabbioso (Beach Break)): I treni di maretta a lungo periodo (14s+) subiscono un'immediata rifrazione a contatto con la piattaforma vulcanica sottomarina, concentrando 55 kJ di energia sulla sezione di takeoff srotolando in modo pulito. Il canale adiacente drena l'acqua senza risucchiare i surfisti nella zona d'impatto.
1. REGOLA D'ORO PER ENTRARE E USCIRE
Beginners should paddle out south at La Jolla Shores where the submarine canyon mellows the swell; intermediates/advanced surfers head right to the Scripps Pier pilings where canyon refraction amplifies A-frame peaks.
