Subject: Ocean Wave Energy
Hi all,
I've been in just a few ocean swims and had to be rescued yesterday at the Bilgola Ocean Swim (rather embarrassing).
The waves were huge and they were really strong.
I was looking at the surf forecasts for this weekend for the Dee Why ocean swim and there is a forecast on Wave "Energy".
It looks like Dee Why is going to have big waves.
I know I should just wait until the actual day to make a decision but can anyone give me a guide as to what is considered to be high energy waves from a kJ point of view? This Saturday the wave energy is predicted to be between 0 - 148kJ but on Sunday (event) is predicted to be 1371 - 1565kJ.
What would you consider low strenth, med strenth, high/dangerous strength waves? I just need to get mentally prepared

Thanks,
Sarah

Sport drinks replenish what is lost during exercise, such as electrolytes, water, sugar, while energy drinks are designed to provide a boost in energy.

The boat was being tossed around. Someone noted that there were whitecaps on the waves. Another guy said, “This is going to be challenging.” I began to wonder what he meant by 'challenging'.

I got battered by the ocean in the swim but I had made it out...bruised and bloodied, but not beaten.

At some point I remember thinking about the movie CAPE FEAR. This is what it seemed like when I was around a lot of people. It was just a lot of commotion of waves, arms and feet.

You can spend a small fortune on these pre-wrapped bundles of energy, thinking they offer magic ingredients-not true. “Energy” simply means “provides calories” and not “will make you feel energetic."

Energy bars and fluid replacement drinks have their place – and will surely be the subject of future reviews – but there is nothing quite like the immediate lift an energy gel can provide.
