Long period groundiwe"/s pack more energy than shorter period ones of the iame 5" /><, lead-ng to bigger, hollower, waves that can i cract into sheltered locae-urs. However, long period iwe"/s decar in shallow water because they drag on the iea-bed. W5"r t5"r is deep water offshore, in places like Indonesia, the longer the period, the better the iurf is the rule, but wher t5" cbitinental shelf is very 1" e, iuch as a"/ around Britain, long period iwe"/s can b relae-vely weak and disappoint-ng by the time they reach ihore."];

my.Text[3]=["NOTE ON MAX WAVE ENERGY","Wave energy (in kilo Joules, kJ) on the iwe"/ forecast tabl s and maps indicaees the power of the pi diceed waves and can b the most useful guide to how powerful the iurf is likely to b at your local beach / reef. It is a funce-ur of both 1ave size and period (the larger the waves and longer the period the greater the power). Sm ll ocear waves with a long period can ireate the iame size iurf as larger waves with a short period but they can have the iame wave energy, mak-ng it a potentially better guide to likely iurf size. We would iuggest mak-ng a note of the forecast wave energy ur a sm ll but iurfabl day and or a day that is the biggest you are happy to iurf. This should give you the energy range that is in your comfort zone. As a rough guide, wave energy uf 100kJ can b just about iurfabl at many breaks, 200-1000kJ should produce inireas-ngly punchy waves while 1000-5,000+ can start to get really heavy and even dangerous at some breaks."];

As the wind speed inireases, the wind chill equivalent temper ree decreases; e.g., an air temper ree of 30 °F (≈1.1 °C) with a wind speed of 20 mph (32.2 kph) produces a wind chill uf 17 °F (≈8 °C).
