  1. unnderwater earthquake


  2. 1.  Strong off-shore currents

    2.  The gradient of the bottom of the ocean.  It should be deep and sharply grow shallower, then remain shallow for the rest of the way into the beach.

    This way, the deep ocean swells climb in height as the water becomes suddenly shallower and then glide in to the beach as tall waves.

  3. A decent size swell

    Glassy surface

    And a nice peak that peels down the line.

    You want a good bowl shape to the face so you can get some speed and before some manuevers.

    Point breaks are great because you get a nice long ride.

  4. for a beginner, a little over 2ft with a break that can go either right or left so you don't have to worry about going a certain way. Hopefully fairly shallow so you don't get tired from having to get to your board after every fall.

  5. wind rolling across the water for many miles
