	'''Surfing''' is the art of riding waves. Invented by the Polynesians, today it is practiced by millions of surfers around the globe. One of the most popular regions for surfing is California. The state has a number of world-class breaks, starting in the [[Directory:San Francisco\|San Francisco]] area and extending all the way down into northern Baja Mexico. The surf forecast for California this weekend is supposed to be pretty big as a northwestern storm system approaches the coast. While the surf is not expected to be quite as big as last year's ''rather large Wednesday'' (December 21, 2005), it is expected to pack quite a punch.		'''Surfing''' is the art of riding waves.

-==The Science of Surfing Waves==
+==The Perfect Wave==
-Several factors influence the shape and quality of [[Ocean surface wave|breaking waves]]. These include the [[bathymetry]] of the surf break, the direction and size of the [[swell (ocean)|swell]], the direction and strength of the [[wind]] and the ebb and flow of the [[tide]].
+The quest for perfect surf has given rise to a field of tourism based on the surfing adventure. Yacht charters and surf camps offer surfers access to the high quality surf found in remote, tropical locations, where tradewinds ensure offshore conditions. Since winter swells are generated by mid-latitude cyclones, their regularity coincides with the passage of these lows. So, the swells arrive in pulses, each lasting for a couple of days, with a couple of days between each swell. Since bigger waves break in a different configuration, a rising swell is yet another variable to consider when assessing how to approach a break.
