For that people calling thoose waves less the 10 ft. The wave is falling down or breaking from creast to trough for example at 0:11 in 1,2 secundes. The free fall formula is h = 0,5 * g * t^2. So easy calculation: h = 0,5 * 9,81 (m/s^2) * (1,2 s)^2 = 7,1 m which is 23,3 ft. So "back measuring" don't know what it means. The faces ist 23 ft the amplitude is 11,5 ft (from x-axis to creast). Funny that every can meassure the high of the waves in front of the computer just like this.

I love watching these. Now as a noob who's never really surfed, I understand there are two ways to measure wave height, but my question is, for the surfing experience, wouldn't it make more sense to measure the full face height from the top where it's about to curl over, to the bottom where it's going to crash? Because that's what you're riding in, right? That's what you experience? Forgive if I look like I'm talking out my arse, I've been in smaller waves a lot but only know my physical experience with that.
@mybleachhouse3 жыл бұрын
Hawaiians and Australians usually call waves size on what a buoy would read as deepwater swell, or half the breaking wave height or even the size of the wave as measured from the back. It's pretty subjective and even they have disagreements on wave size as there are so many factors in play such as the local bathymetry of where the wave is breaking. I agree that measuring from the front is the most scientific and logical way to get an exact reading of a breaking wave face. The world record for largest wave ever ridden was 25' of deepwater swell but the bathymetry of Nazare canyon turned it into 80' face of a breaking wave(measured from the front). This hurricane swell in the video peaked at 10.5' @14 seconds so it's all very confusing as the wedge amplifies swell with constructive interference. I would say these waves are 10-12' hawaiian-10' austalian-25 foot californian-an exact measurement can be found by calculating the size of people in the water, measuring the size of the wave face, divide by ego and add prestige, then subtract location and finally a true wave size will be discovered.

You're encountering the ludicrous undervaluing of wave height in parts of the surf world. It's a stupid macho trip. "Hawaiian" count apparently originated in lifeguards there playing down wave height in media surf reports to discourage surfers from Waikiki (South Shore) coming to the big wave North Shore, in order to cut down on rescues needed. And I've NEVER met a surfer who measures waves from the back; I've been surfing 43 years. Least arguable way to communicate wave height is comparing it to an average adult's height: head high, head-and-a-half, double overheard etc. The bigger waves in this video are double/triple overhead- like you said, 15 feet minimum, heading toward 20. All these commenters are FOS.
