</p>
Step one is going to be get a foil (see below);</p>
Step two is going to be work out which board I am happy to drill holes in or I could use one of my Tuttle Fin boards:
<br />
Tuttle vs Deep Tuttle: <br />

<br>
The plots show the direction from which the waves propagating, so for NSW the wave energy will mostly come from the top right (NE swell) to the bottom (S swell) of the plot. Long period waves are shown towards the outside of the plot, and short period waves show in the centre of the plot. <br>
Directional spectra plots are able to represent all the waves, good and bad.<p></p>However, it does express the wave in terms of its power. Wave power is proportional to the wave period and to the square of the wave height. The trouble is that the single measure replaces the more familiar double measure of wave height and period.<br>
<p></p>But the measure is energy density m2/deg.Hz ((whatthe?)<p></p>From Wikipedia:<br>
<b>Wave power formula</b><br>
Here power is expressed in kilowatts of power potential per meter.<br>
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_power">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_power</a><br>
In deep water where the water depth is larger than half the wavelength, the wave energy flux is<br>
<a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/2/0/b/20bf2d4d28c0484b84e187f7bf2b69cf.png" imageanchor="1" style=""><img border="0" height="48" width="321" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/2/0/b/20bf2d4d28c0484b84e187f7bf2b69cf.png"></a><br>
<br>
with P the wave energy flux per unit of wave-crest length, Hm0 the significant wave height, T the wave period, ρ the water density and g the acceleration by gravity. <br>
When the significant wave height is given in metres, and the wave period in seconds, the result is the wave power in kilowatts (kW) per metre of wavefront length.<br>
<br>
<p></p>Example: Consider moderate ocean swells, in deep water, a few km off a coastline, with a wave height of 3 m and a wave period of 8 seconds. Using the formula to solve for power, we get<br>
<a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/b/7/1/b71f0c2048a5fabdceca6fb9973e5b01.png" imageanchor="1" style=""><img border="0" height="43" width="312" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/b/7/1/b71f0c2048a5fabdceca6fb9973e5b01.png"></a><br>
meaning there are 36 kilowatts of power potential per meter of wave crest.<br>
<p></p>In major storms, the largest waves offshore are about 15 meters high and have a period of about 15 seconds. According to the above formula, such waves carry about 1.7 MW of power across each metre of wavefront.<br>
<br>
Look, we will sort this out and get back to you. Feel free to comment if you can.<div class="blogger-post-footer">Surfing search:

These islands are exposed the north Pacific "winter" swell. <br />
The part of these islands that is of interest is their north west coast. Reef passes in that part are likely to have a good wave since as the swell wraps into the pass the trade wind is off-shore.<br />
This graphic on the surf-forecast page is the best one I have seen to show the area and the trade wind.<br />

Also of interest is the one for the period of the wave, the quality of the swell, its period. Longer periods mean that the swell is more powerful. These are called ground swell (wrongly) because they do not relate to the local weather condition.<br />
