| 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 cyclone]]s, 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. | | The quest for perfect surf has given rise to a field of tourism based on the surfing adventure.
