HYDROGRAPHIC REFRACTION, TAKEOFF & EXIT CHANNEL PROFILE
Beach & Reef Bottom ProfileVågens Karaktär (Sandbotten (Beachbreak)): Långperiodiska dyningar (10s+) refrakteras omedelbart vid kontakt med den vulkaniska undervattensplatån och samlar 45 kJ vågenergi vid takeoff-zonen samtidigt som vågen bryter rent. Den intilliggande kanalen dränerar vattnet mjukt utan att dra in surfare i träffzonen.
