“I have developed a new way of predicting wave heights to within less than 1′ standard deviation for a 9 day period based on what I capture from the data dump of numerous ocean buoys.
Data is massaged in microsoft excel and charted for over a weeks worth of data. My method uses less extrapolation and more data. For now I am working with data and creating graphs for the area along San Diego, Ca coast and analyzing the results. Time permitting I will post and share this data and work on a method of sharing this data with the public.”

SURFLOOK.COM
Filed under |Coming in the future to surflook.com:
Surflook.com has its eye on new technology that could be put to use to revolutionize surf reporting. Reporting could model exactly how, when, and what part of the beach a set of waves will break.There is no greater way to get a surf report than being there at the beach and seeing the conditions first hand from the sand or cliffs, watching the set intervals while scanning the horizon. All aspects and effects of putting technology out there to aid in tracking and catching waves will be carefully considered… including the possibility of overcrowding any particular surf spot.
We’d be greatly honored if you take the journey with us and improve the future of your surfing along with surflook’s bold vision for the future of surfing enjoyment and surf forecasting.

Along with future ocean forecasting development as well as shelving/hiding technology with the wrong impacts… surflook has been shifting attention to wave generating technology and seeking out investors and developers for a perfect spot in inland southern California.
The “pipe” dream of being able to create on demand waves to specific size and shape is very feasible in today’s world.

Filed under |The ocean garbage
patches 2007, JuneA great catastrophe and human error exists in the pacific, eastern pacific and Atlantic oceans that is nothing less than devastating and mortifying when one learns about it for the first time.
For now for some it could be out of site or mind but it is looming out there like a science fiction monster growing bigger and bigger and getting closer and closer to being on your doorstep with no known solution to making it go away.
Most descriptions of a patch of garbage the size of Texas somewhere out there in the pacific ocean are merely trying to put into perspective the mass of garbage actually bigger than the size of Texas (and growing) that collects where the ocean currents and jet streams cross and meet out there in the ocean.
This problem affects mankind in many ways from the fish and seafood we eat to the health of the ocean eco system and earth itself.
More disturbing still is the fact is that there is no known way to clean this up. Besides the expensive monetary cost any operation would be to clean it, there is no known viable way to clean it all up due to the shear mass of it and the way it is spread out all over wide and deep in the oceans. Below the pictures are links to some pictures and articles on the subject and organizations/efforts trying to deal with this problem.
