About This Activity

Whether you're a wave enthusiast, a beachgoer, or a budding surfer, this course has something for everyone. It explores the origins and characteristics of waves, emphasizing that most waves are born from the caress of the wind over the water's surface, a process where wind energy transforms into mechanical energy, propelling the water into an elegant dance of motion. You'll learn how factors like wind speed, duration, and fetch influence wave size and witness the magic of wave interactions with the ocean floor, which can shape coastlines and the unique communities living along the littoral zone. From creating waves to feeling the ocean's rhythm and even learning to surf, this course will surely be an adventure. Catch a wave with us!
