By VICTORIA MILKO, Associated Press TEAHUPO’O, Tahiti (AP) — The search for the perfect wave has been a part of surfing culture for decades, with surfers traveling from location to location in their quest for the best swells. But with the development of surf forecasting— the prediction of wave swell behavior and breaking— that search has gotten much easier. This year, it also determines the four days that surfers competing in the Paris Olympics in Tahiti, French Polynesia, will paddle into the ocean in their pursuit for the gold medal. Here’s a look at how surf forecasting is done, how it impacts the Paris Olympics surfing competition and how experts expect climate change to affect future wave forecasting. What is surf forecasting and how is it done? Surf forecasting is often considered a branch of meteorology and oceanography as it uses the same tools and methods adopted in weather forecasting and the study of the ocean. Forecasters monitor wind and storms that blow over the ocean — sometimes thousands of miles out at sea — transferring their energy in the water and creating most waves.

South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Sunday - 11/03/2024 - 04:00 AM
One would think that less than a month before Thanksgiving, and two months before the Christmas-New Year’s holiday season, this is not an ideal time for news pages to be filled with reports about an airline’s possible bankruptcy filing, or renewed takeover talk by an old suitor, or a spate of layoffs looming in January. But the public discussion is one of the realities facing South Florida-based Spirit Airlines as the carrier’s management labors to raise cash and plot a course to return to profitability amid fierce industry competition. Travelers have choices when they book trips for the year’s busiest travel seasons.

(Editor’s Note: Today’s Opinion page is devoted to the many letters we received about the presidential election, for and against both candidates.) Still undecided? Why?

ASK IRA: If opportunity comes around again for Damian Lillard, should Heat consider options?

He has had a lot of poor shooting games and doesn’t play any defense. Maybe if the Bucks can get some younger talent and some picks, they’ll be able to appease Giannis.
