Secret Sweet Spots, Discovery in the Med, and Speedometers for Your Waves!

Secrets of Summer You can be better at surfing waves by using math! A surfer and researcher at Scripps Institution of Oceanography has solved some of the classic wave equations to show where the Sweet Spot on a wave is. It is the spot of maximum accelration to propel you forward in the wave. Check out the article below and perhaps you too can dig the math. Other inspired scientists in Malta use gliders, which are ocean exploring robots, to delve deep into the Mediterranean Sea. There's still uncharted regions all over to explore. We've also just released the completely new designs of the WaveClock! You're sure to love the new speedometer style as well as great art from Wetfeet Photography and Ventana Surfboards and Supplies. Check them out on ETSY. Stay tuned and follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter for the latest info. We'll let you know here first! Happy and Safe Summer to Everyone! The WaveClock Team

The True Sweet Spot “Based upon the speed and geometry of the wave, you can determine the conditions to surf a wave and also where on the wave the maximum acceleration, or ‘sweet spot,’ will be located,” said a researcher at Scripps Institution of Oceanography after exploring classic wave mechanics. Find out more about the Sweet Spot HERE! The WaveClock is your gateway to the ocean. The new speedometer style WaveClocks are made from single pieces of redwood and cedar with windows for the dials. These stylish WaveClocks show you at a glance what's happening with the waves and tides at your favorite spot.  The latest ones are up on our ETSY store! See the Latest! Measuring the Ocean Depths Underwater robots are an amazing idea and underwater gliders are no exception. They are being used worldwide to explore uncharted regions of the ocean. Researchers at the Univeristy of Malta are using gliders to measure the depths of the Mediterranean Sea. Learn more here.
