What is reef surfing?
Reef surfing is in which an ocean bottom is covered by rock, sandbar or any other feature that is shallow enough for which waves to break over it. It usually is very consistent because the bottom cannot change from climate or eniviromental conditions. If this "reef break" has a rideable face, then surfers will consider it a possible destination to go to when there is swell.
What is the Definition of Reef Crest?
A reef crest is the shallowest part of a coral reef, typically located at the very top where waves break. It can be characterized by high energy due to wave action and is an important zone for biodiversity on the reef.
How are waves at Teahupoo so thick and heavy?
Waves in Tahiti-Teahupoo are very thick and powerful because of two main factors, which is reef and dept of water. Waves formed at Teahupoo come from deep water and enters shallow water very dramatically. The wave is traveling through deep waters from where it started and suddenly hits very shallow reef causing the wave to instantly break. Unlike most breaks where waves hit a shelf of reef and slowly begin to break, Teahupoo almost breaks the instant it hits the reef. When this occurs all that water and force fallowing the wave basically folds over and break too soon and it causes the wave to be massive in thickness and size. This is why Teahupoo gets very heavy, it's because of the amount of water that builds up right as the wave breaks.
How can ocean waves help locate underwater reefs or sandbars?
Ocean waves help locate underwater reefs or sandbars by I think not having waves and if you stand on a mountain and see the ocean look for a dark part in the ocean and that is probbly the reef or the sandbars and observe it i might not have big waves or currents. No, this is completely wrong. Waves break when they move into shallow water (as caused by a reef or sandbar), so you should be looking for breaking waves to determine where reefs are.
