<div>Always feet. When surfers talk about wave size,
it’s much like fishing aficionados talking about the
size of their catch, if you know what I’m getting at.</div>

<div>But “size” is variable, what would need to be
tagged is “minimum swell size” for a break to be
rideable… which is a more scientific measure and
reported formally.</div>

<div>Hmmm, wouldn't that then vary concerning the board? You
often hear the news say "it'll only be a couple of feet /
knee high (& does that option need mentioning?), so
break out your small wave board & head on down"<br>

<div>I found this article to be the most succinct and
detached summary of conditions required for particular
breaks:</div>

<div>Yep, good article, but one bit there made me think?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>"
To surf the best waves possible you need to know how
different swell directions impact upon a particular surf
spot"</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>How do we say that the ideal, best conditions are "this",
but usual conditions are "that"?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Earlier I mentioned about the Kirra Superbank that only
occurs a "few" times per year. While the rest of the year is
perfectly acceptable, those few times are exceptional!
(Think rides over 1 km long! :-)) <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Can you think of any way of tagging normal v ideal?<br>
</div>
