What type of ocean floor creates the best type of wave?

Question

Matt Bromley · Answer

It's the best type of ocean floor for waves. It depends. What kind of way is you looking for, if you want intense barreling waves, you're looking for an ocean for, that's from very deep to shallow, very quickly. So the Steep, gradient creates a wave that rears are very fast and barrels and is very intense. A lot of people don't like these valves though, because the wave rears up so fast, on the other hand, if a lot of people's favorite waves are Long Point Break. So like in Jeffrey's Bay Inn in South Africa, We have the base right hand Point Break in the world. So the, the head land is at the perfect angle, as the waves wrap around the Headland. They sweep into the point and these long lines come in, and it's a fairly even gradient going from shallow to deep the waves break and peel along the rock. That's why it's called the point break. So peels along the Rocks, so it really depends. What kind of way is you looking for, obviously the longer the reef. The the bit, the the better it is. Ideally in any situation. The best is to have a reef or point where the where the energy is converges on and then a deep spot next to it. So deep spark has the channel where the waves don't break so you can ride the waves on the reef and then pull out in the channel, paddle back out of your hair dry and go get another way. So it's always great when there is a safe sewing or Channel.

So the question this time around is what type of ocean floor creates the best type of wave. And I think that's actually really are. Kind of tricky one to answer because there's good waves on all types of Ocean Floors. There's good sand, bottom breaks, there's good breaks over cobblestones. There's good breaks over hard Reef substrate. So really any type of ocean floor can create Great Waves, one of the nice things about reef and rock breaks is that they're usually less transient than sand, bottom Breaks by that. I mean, those waves will break in the same spot year after year oftentimes decade after decade just because the reef itself doesn't move and doesn't change as much as say a sandbar would so really, it depends on what type of wave you're looking for and where you're located. If you're on the East Coast, really all you have is sand bottom break. So those are going to be the best surf that you can get if you're in other parts of the world, often times, Reef breaks or some of my favorite breaks to surf. But also things like lower trestles which are Cobblestone breaks, those are also really amazing. So I think it really just comes down to where you're at and what type of wave you're looking for.
