The riding of waves is so reliant on a wide range of ever changing and uncontrollable elements: wind, tide, swell, bottom contour, and structure. All surfers know what it means to track the weather patterns and wind directions, hoping that the lines on the forecast map will add up to lines on the Lake or Ocean; resulting in good waves.

Here are some resources that we have found useful.
