This is a surfing guidebook to Europe (not the Atlantic Islands). "The Stormrider Guide Europe - The Continent" includes Denmark, Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, and Morocco.
It is fully revised and contains detailed information covering The Surf, Ocean Environment, and Surf Culture on a country-by-country basis.
The Surf outlines where and when to go and demystifies the continental Europe coastline from Denmark to Morocco.
Ocean Environment deals with pollution, erosion, access, and hazards, while Surf Culture illuminates the surf scene, including history, surf media, contests, and localism.
The indispensable traveling information is concise, plus there are links to all the latest oceanographic and swell forecasting resources.
The Continental coastline is accurately mapped in detail, showing where to find the main surfing breaks.
Each surf break report outlines how and where the waves break, quality, consistency, and the general vibe.
The unique Stormrider symbols reveal optimum wind, tide, swell size, and direction, as well as wave type and bottom contour.
Crowds, hazards, dangerous sea life, pollution, access, and environmental problems are also noted.
A picture tells a thousand words, so there are hundreds of the best photos of European surf ever compiled.
Stunning images in crisp color from the cream of the world's surf photographers add that extra dimension that makes Stormrider the most detailed surf guide money can buy.
