WAVE ENERGY.

LEVERAGING DATA TO FUEL THE STOKE
In 2015, Ocean Engineer and Naval Architect Clifford Goudey scientifically studied and collected wave energy data on the characteristics of boat wakes. WSIA analyzed the data to develop recommendations to protect shorelines, docks and other personal property.

GENERAL FINDINGS:

Surf Icon
Wakesurfing waves start out very high, but dissipate rapidly compared to other wakes.
Surf Icon
The wake on the surfing side is 10% higher and conveys 23% more energy. Best to surf on the offshore side. 
Surf Icon
Wave energy dissipates rapidly upon breaking, such as just behind the boat and as water becomes shallow causing friction and breaking.
