One key factor in finding the perfect wave is understanding swell direction and size. Swell direction refers to the angle at which waves approach the shore, and different beaches respond differently to swells depending on their orientation. A beach that faces directly into the swell will often produce bigger, more consistent waves, while one that is sheltered from the swell may have smaller or less powerful waves. Swell size is another important consideration—small swells may be ideal for beginners, while larger swells produce the bigger, more powerful waves experienced surfers seek. Checking swell forecasts helps in spotting when conditions are optimal for catching great waves.
