I may have gotten ahead of myself last week, with the last article focusing on how wind affects the shape of a barreling wave.
Nazaré would be the freakiest wave in the world if the physics allowed it to barrel.
Check out shipsterns bluff in Tasmania. The craziest wave IMO. Has steps, sharks, barrels and a ridiculously shallow reef.
Agreed, and shipsterns bluff looks mean! SoCal is much friendlier.
Waves barrelling on shallow reefs are, colloquially, slabs.
In my circles, they are colloquially called "fun."
