Wind direction vs. onshore/offshore

They were conjured up in Bizarro World.

 

Strong first post.

 

do I wax the top or bottom!?

 

Sticky wax on the top, speed wax for the bottom. Obviously.

 

i melt my wax and use it as lube for masturbation. wooohoooo

 

Mark, please see the attachment.

 

How dare u question this logic.

Keep your head down, do as you are told and don't you ever bring this up again.

Offshores for life!

Nice draw up Clemmy.

 

Right but isn't ocean always on the right?

 

But Clemmy, what happens if you turn the drawing upside down? Or if you're in Australia?!!!!

 

aha that was great

 

He's waiting under a beach umbrella. That's funny

 

yea Clemson nailed it.by far one of the top stupidest questions iv heard in a while on here.kind of self explanatory,

OFF-shore
ON-shore.doesn't get much simpler than that.

where im at,and im pretty sure everywhere has a great ol American flag on their beach.if u flag is blowing towards water,its offshore,if its blowing towards the street u are driving on,its onshore.if the flag is blowing vertical,that means all time conditions in what I like to call vert-shore winds

 

You guys explain terribly. Not even once anybody mentioned a compass.

 

lol I have never used a compass in my life.maybe if I was sailing across seas in the 1300s it would be wise to carry.but to go on the beach with a compass lol,well idk how to respond to that lol

 

man I dunno how you surf then... next thing you gonna say you don't carry a thermometer to check water temps before deciding what suite to put on.... Mad man...

 

When winds are offshore, you need to be off the shore... in other words, "not near the shore," as conditions are choppie and unsuiteable for surfboarding.

When winds are onshore, you need to be, "on the shore," (or as they say in New Jersey, "down the shore") as conditions are ideal.

 

Not if you are looking south

 

Dude, I've been trying to use a compass for a while but I keep having trouble with the pointy end jabbing me in my thigh through my boardshorts. Is there one that is more suitable for riding waves on surfing boards? Also, what do you do with the circles you make?

 

In all honesty it's because off shore is different at each break. Some breaks a west wind is offshore, some a north wind and so on. It's just easier to say off shore, on shore or side shore. Der!
