          <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>Can you think of any way of tagging normal v ideal?<br>
