The historic swell of March 7, 2024 at Cloudbreak
By:

MAR

On March 7, 2024, Cloudbreak delivered one of the most epic swells in Fiji's big wave surfing history. The use of superlatives has become commonplace in journalism and writing in general, and sometimes, we need time to let the dust settle and process the information. However, you can't ignore the facts and the footage as they, in this particular event, could easily replace the role of words. Unexpectedly, for this time of the year, or maybe not, the famous small island of Tavarua was the center stage of a massive big-wave riding showdown. The first signs of this anomaly issued an XXL Code Purple alert that put swell hunters on high alert. It was time to quickly book flights to the South Pacific Ocean archipelago. Surf media followed, with a dozen photographers and videographers eager to shoot anything that moved inside the massive blue cylinders. Remember June 8, 2012, and the "Thundercloud"? If so, do know that March 7, 2024, nearly matches its grandiosity in size, energy, r

El Buey: the big wave oasis of the Atacama desert
By:

MAR

It's one of the world's most out-of-the-radar big waves and certainly one of the most exciting surf breaks in Latin America and the South Pacific. Bienvenidos a El Buey. Arica is a well-known surf town in the north of Chile, which has been attracting surfers and bodyboarders for decades. The region showcases a chain of exciting reef breaks, breaking close to the shore on the wave-rich Alacran Peninsula. These shallow, hard-breaking lineups like El Gringo have achieved international notoriety since the Rip Curl Search landed in 2007. At the time, even the world's best surfers struggled to tame the local tubes. Eventually, Andy Irons defeated Damien Hobgood in the final. The truth is that Arica, the "City of Eternal Spring," is highly consistent for swell and light winds. The small urban community is located in the coastal heart of the world's driest desert - Atacama. The Bull Despite the many options available in the vicinity, there's one gem that stands out. It's called El B

Does ocean water temperature affect wave height?
By:
on
MAR
11
Is there any correlation between warmer or colder ocean waters and bigger waves? What is the influence of temperature on wave height? When we think about power swells, meteorologists and surf forecasters look into the intensity of low-pressure systems on large oceanic fetches. Then, they track waves generated thousands of miles from the coastlines and follow their energy-gathering pattern as swells travel toward the shores. The intensity, duration, and area over which wind blows over the water's surface will dictate the power of a groundswell. Nevertheless, these are only the essential wave train formation variables. The existence, for instance, of an underwater canyon near the coastline can then dramatically boost the size of near-shore breaking waves. One of the best examples is Nazaré's Praia do Norte, where local bathymetry plays a critical role in creating XXL waves. Poles vs. Equator But what happens when water temperatures increase? Is there a difference in wave size or

Siqi Yang is the first Chinese surfer to qualify for the Olympic Games. The 15-year-old will represent her country in Paris 2024 at Teahupoo. It's China's best-ever result in an official international surfing competition. Yang finished the 2024 ISA World Surfing Games in 15th place among over 110 female surfers and secured a historical Olympic ticket. But the remarkable story of Siqi goes back to 2022. In a surprising turn of events, China started emerging as a rising force in the world of surfing at the 2022 ISA World Surfing Games in Huntington Beach, California. The youthful Chinese surfers, led by the then 13-year-old sensation Yang Siqi, shattered expectations and captured the attention of international media. Traditionally, surfing powerhouses such as Brazil, Australia, the USA, and Japan have dominated the scene. However, China's remarkable performance at the ISA World Surfing Games signals a potential shift in the sport's landscape. At the time, Yang, the youngest member of the

How are surfers seeded into WSL competition heats?
By:

FEB

How are surfers distributed in heats? Can two top-ranked athletes match up against each other in the opening round of a contest? Here's how seeding works in the Championship Tour (CT). The World Surf League (WSL) introduced a new competition format in the 2019 CT. The goal was to fine-tune an athlete's past achievements while simultaneously rewarding performance in a running season. Seeding is the process of assigning a rank or position to a surfer based on their previous achievements or current performance. Seeding aims to create a structured bracket or draw for the surf competitions, ensuring that higher-seeded athletes are initially paired against lower-seeded ones, theoretically providing a more balanced and competitive progression throughout the event. In modern competitive professional surfing, each elite surf contest features the following stages: Seeding Round; Elimination Round; Round of 32; Round of 16; Quarterfinals; Semifinals; Final; The Seeding Round The Seeding Round

Depression Louis triggers historic XXL swell in Nazaré
By:

FEB

Depression Louis brought some of the largest swells of the decade to Portugal, Spain, and France, courtesy of the North Atlantic winter storms. The extreme weather event raised national alerts and put big-wave surfers on hold on Europe's infamous XXL surf breaks. Most storm-chasing fraternity converged in Praia do Norte, Nazaré, for another go at the Guinness World Record race. The Portuguese underwater canyon has been the gold mine of many athletes and media professionals eager to ride and capture the sport's superlative stunts. The Code Black swell brought a lot of wind, gusts, and heavy rain but also plenty of record-breaking opportunities for the usual suspects. Three names in particular have been making a living in Nazaré in recent years: Lucas "Chumbo" Chianca, Sebastian Steudtner, and Rodrigo Koxa. Whenever Praia do Norte fires its most brutal missiles, they're either strapped to their surfboard or towing someone into the massive avalanches of water. The

Robbie Crawford calls himself a multimedia specialist, but he's certainly more than that. Meet the 21st-century digital artist who has dreamed of waves since childhood. He's been pushing the boundaries of graphical 3D wave simulation and sharing the developments with the world in the form of art and creative imagination. Robbie is also a surfer and passionate lensman, two sides of his personality that surely help us understand his extremely popular work in social media. However, the Huntington Beach-based imagery creator is not your typical professional surf photographer or videographer with a creative, hipster-driven vein. Crawford operates mainly on the side of fantasy. In the past couple of decades, the Californian has significantly contributed to establishing the compact action camera as a legitimate tool in professional media. With the experimentations made with standard waterproof shooting devices showcasing their capabilities and features, Crawford's work has been featured in di

The 10th edition of La Vaca Gigante has etched its mark in history. In a stunning display of skill and courage, 24 surfers, both local and international, embraced the formidable Cantabrian waves, reaching heights of over 23 feet (seven meters). The waves crashed dramatically against the Cantabrian coast, creating an epic day of XXL surfing in Santander. Ultimately, the day belonged to Indar Unanue, who emerged victorious, shaking the cowbell and hoisting the coveted milk jug that signifies triumph in this prestigious competition. The day commenced under cloudy skies in Cueto, with minimal wind. The only sound disrupting the silence was the eager anticipation of waves awaiting their moment to shine. As the tide rose, the La Vaca Gigante 2024 competition kicked off around noon with the trial round. Seven surfers vied for the last coveted spot in the main event.

Jack Robinson and Molly Picklum claimed the Hurley Pro Sunset Beach on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii. The finals got underway in six-to-eight-foot perfect rights at Sunset Beach. The proving grounds of Oahu's North Shore once again offered a real challenge to the best surfers in the world with solid waves and shifting lineups, but overall, plenty of opportunities to showcase their talent and kick off the new season. A monumental change in women's professional surfing happened over the course of the season's first two events, with the top 17 taking on serious conditions at Pipe and Sunset and some of the youngest competitors showing up with massive performances and commitment to raise the bar. Picklum was an integral part of the charge in making history this month as she collected huge scores for her relentless approach to hitting the biggest sections of the waves, holding nothing back. Today, she earned back-to-back titles at Sunset. This win marks Picklum's second victory on T
