There are many glorious science-based terms when it comes to surfing. We all talk about swells, of course, the underwater energy that creates a breaking wave. But we'll look at swell angles and ...

The wave-particle duality is one of those essential pillars. Physics courses devote weeks to just introducing it – but there are still important aspects that can be covered in a short article.

This is refraction, and the way a wave breaks can also be impacted by what's going on under the surface on the ocean floor. So every surf spot in the world has its own unique footprint.
