Tides play a significant role in wave formation, and understanding how tides affect a particular surf spot is essential for spotting the perfect wave. At high tide, waves may break closer to shore and can be softer, while at low tide, the waves often break further out and with more power. Many surf spots have optimal tide windows, where the wave shape and power are at their best. Mid-tide is often a sweet spot, providing a balance between high and low tides. By keeping track of tide changes, you can ensure you’re in the water at the most favorable time for catching ideal waves.
