HYDROGRAPHIC REFRACTION, TAKEOFF & EXIT CHANNEL PROFILE

Beach & Reef Bottom Profile

涌浪形态动力 (礁石浪点 (岩石底)): 10秒以上的长周期涌浪在触及海底火山岩架时立即发生折射，将高达 45 kJ 的波浪推力精准汇聚于起乘区域，且浪壁剥落平整。相邻的深水回流水道排水顺畅，避免冲浪者被暗流拖入落浪冲击区。

1. 进出水域黄金法则

Always use the rock entry channel in front of Clube Naval de São Vicente between 0.78m and 1.62m tide. During fast ebb tides (< -0.45 m/h), a strong outflow rip pulls through the channel.

最高满潮: {tide}m: 1.62m•最低干潮: {tide}m: 0.78m

2. 本浪点局部危险

•Outside the 0.78m–1.62m tide gate, the entry channel becomes shallow or surging
•Strong ebb rip current through the channel when tide drops faster than -0.45 m/h
