I tasked the kid with drawing the ideal surf map, and he’s really

Please do share when ready, as I am also well & truly /not/ a surfer!
(I'm actually a boatie so I'm / they're the enemy! :-))
I like the idea of separate tags too:
- some may be more necessary than others
- better than trying to cram them all into one
- can be added to over time, rather than a formalised :conditional=
Yep.
Always feet. When surfers talk about wave size, it’s much like
fishing aficionados talking about the size of their catch, if you
know what I’m getting at.
Perfectly!
But “size” is variable, what would need to be tagged is “minimum
swell size” for a break to be rideable… which is a more scientific
measure and reported formally.
Hmmm, wouldn't that then vary concerning the board? You often hear the
news say "it'll only be a couple of feet / knee high (& does that
option need mentioning?), so break out your small wave board & head on
down"
I found this article to be the most succinct and detached summary
of conditions required for particular breaks:

Yep, good article, but one bit there made me think?
" To surf the best waves possible you need to know how different swell
directions impact upon a particular surf spot"
How do we say that the ideal, best conditions are "this", but usual
conditions are "that"?
Earlier I mentioned about the Kirra Superbank that only occurs a "few"
times per year. While the rest of the year is perfectly acceptable,
those few times are exceptional! (Think rides over 1 km long! :-))
Can you think of any way of tagging normal v ideal?
Ssurfing_typical=*
surfing_exceptional=*
??
Thanks
