HYDROGRAPHIC REFRACTION, TAKEOFF & EXIT CHANNEL PROFILE
Beach & Reef Bottom ProfileKilos ng Alon (Dulo ng Tangos (Point Break)): Ang mahahabang linya ng swell (11s+) ay agad na bumabaluktot sa mabatong ilalim ng bulkan, na nagtitipon ng 65 kJ ng lakas ng alon sa takeoff zone habang bumubukas nang maayos. Ang katabing lagusan ay naglalabas ng tubig nang banayad nang hindi hinihila ang mga surfer sa impact zone.
