1375_98 | In 2004, Cork and Kilkenny squared up to the other in another All-Ireland final. ‘The Cats’ were going for an unprecedented three-in-a-row and the chance to top the all-time roll of honour. Cork, on the other hand, were out to beat them. A rain-soaked day robbed the fans of a classic for the second time in five years and the first-half left a lot to be desired. Cork took command in the second period of play and scored nine points without reply in the final twenty-three minutes. A 0–17 to 0–9 score line gave Cork the victory and put an end to a Kilkenny treble. |
1375_99 | In 2005 all hurling fans predicted a Cork-Kilkenny showdown for the third year in-a-row; however, the All-Ireland semi-finals proved intriguing. Cork narrowly defeated Clare after a fantastic comeback to book their place in a third consecutive All-Ireland final. Kilkenny, on the other hand, were blindsided by Galway in the second semi-final in one of the games of the decade. The final saw Cork take on Galway in the final for the first time since 1990. Ben O'Connor scored a goal in the sixteenth minute to give Cork a mighty boost. Galway fought back; however, they failed to bridge the gap as Cork ran out 1–21 to 1-16 winners. It was Cork's thirtieth All-Ireland title as "the Rebels" preserved their 100% record over "the Tribesmen" in All-Ireland deciders. Fiji-born team captain Seán Óg Ó hAilpín was lauded for his acceptance speech, delivered in the Irish language.
2006 to 2012 – Kilkenny: the hurling benchmark of all time
2006 — Kilkenny deny a Rebel treble |
1375_100 | In 2006, Kilkenny and Cork renewed their rivalry as both sides qualified for another All-Ireland final. The Leesiders were aiming for a third All-Ireland victory in-a-row; however, revenge was foremost in the minds of Kilkenny as it was Cork who denied their three-in-a-row bid in 2004. On the day Kilkenny were far too strong for Cork as "the Cats" secured a 1–16 to 1–13 victory after a bruising encounter.
2007 — Limerick fall to Kilkenny
Kilkenny were the pre-tournament favourites in 2007 and proved themselves worthy of this billing by reaching the final with ease. Their dominance continued in the final itself when they defeated Limerick by seven points on a 2–19 to 1–15 score line. After scoring two early goals, Kilkenny maintained a lead of at least five points throughout the match and were never in any real danger of losing. By winning their 30th title Kilkenny drew level with Cork on the all-time roll of honour. |
1375_101 | 2008 — Waterford steamrolled as Kilkenny secure a hat-trick of titles
In 2008, Kilkenny again dominated the hurling championship. Tipperary were predicted to challenge "the Cats" in the championship decider; however, it was first-round losers Waterford who booked their place against Kilkenny in the final. It was their first meeting in the championship decider in forty-five years. In a disappointingly one-sided final, Brian Cody's side produced a near perfect seventy minutes to re-confirm themselves as hurling's kingpins. Waterford endured a nightmare afternoon as arguably the greatest Kilkenny team of all-time secured their first All-Ireland three-in-a-row since 1913. The statistics speak for themselves. A 23-point winning margin, 3-24 from play, only two wides in the entire match and eight scorers in all with Eddie Brennan (2-04) and Henry Shefflin (0-08) leading the way in a 3–30 to 1–13 victory.
2009 — Kilkenny's four-in-a-row |
1375_102 | A crowd of 82,106 at Croke Park was treated to one of the best All-Ireland finals of all-time. Kilkenny created a piece of history with a fourth successive All-Ireland title following a defeat of Tipperary, thus becoming only the second county to put four titles back-to-back, joining the successful Cork team of the 1940s in an elite club. For long periods Tipp looked like they were going to end the reign of Brian Cody's side. Tipperary had to play almost twenty minutes with fourteen men following the dismissal of Benny Dunne, and their resolve was finally broken in the final stages, when late goals from Henry Shefflin and substitute Martin Comerford finally killed off their heroic efforts to secure a 2–22 to 0–23 victory.
2010 — Tipperary halt the drive for five |
1375_103 | Tipperary's first All-Ireland title since 2001 thwarted Kilkenny's bid for a record-breaking fifth successive Liam MacCarthy Cup triumph. Kilkenny's first championship defeat in 22 games was delivered in compelling fashion by the Munster men, who reached the final via the "back door" with wins over Wexford, Offaly, Galway and Waterford, and in their capacity to avenge the previous season's painful defeat in the decider. Brian Cody's gamble on attacker Henry Shefflin's famous knee did not come off, and the Kilkenny ace was forced to retire injured after just 12 minutes. On the other hand, Liam Sheedy's heroes produced a devastating attacking display, embellished by a Lar Corbett hat-trick of goals as they swept to a 4–17 to 1–18 victory.
2011 — The wounded cats fight back |
1375_104 | Kilkenny held out in a thriller to defeat defending champions Tipperary and win their 33rd All-Ireland title at Croke Park. Meeting in the decider for the third year in a row, two fiercely committed sides laid on another compelling encounter, never waning in its pace and intensity. Michael Fennelly and Richie Hogan grabbed the vital goals, late in each half, while Henry Shefflin celebrated his record-equalling eighth title triumph with a seven-points haul. For Brian Cody, it was also an eighth Liam MacCarthy Cup success as a manager, and this one was achieved against the odds.
2012 — Kilkenny's sixth in seven years |
1375_105 | On 9 September 2012, Galway faced Kilkenny in an All-Ireland decider for the first time in nineteen years. Both sides had previously met in the Leinster final, with Galway securing a ten-point win and a first provincial title. Joe Canning struck a stoppage time equaliser to send the final to a replay for the first time since 1959. Canning smashed home a brilliant tenth-minute goal, and his 1-6 tally helped the Tribesmen to a 1–9 to 0-7 interval lead, with Henry Shefflin converting four Kilkenny frees. The Cats went in front, before Niall Burke fired in Galway's second goal. Shefflin finished with 12 points, but Canning's 1-9 tally dictated that two great teams would meet again following a superb encounter. |
1375_106 | The replay took place three weeks later on 30 September 2012. Galway stunned the reigning champions with two first-half goals, but their task became impossible twenty minutes from the end when they were reduced to fourteen men following Cyril Donnellan's dismissal. Championship debutant Walter Walsh gave a man of the match performance, claiming a 1-3 haul to announce his arrival on the senior stage in spectacular fashion. The 3–22 to 3-11 Kilkenny victory was a personal milestone for Henry Shefflin, who became the first player to win nine All-Ireland medals on the field of play, and he marked a special occasion with another special performance, contributing nine points to the Kilkenny cause.
2013 - The great levelling off championship
2013 — Clare emerge from the pack |
1375_107 | Prior to the start of the championship Kilkenny, Tipperary and Galway were the bookmakers favourites as potential All-Ireland champions. Few could have predicted that any other team would make the breakthrough. Former Offaly hurler Danny Owens was fearful for the future, stating that "Kilkenny, Cork and Tipperary will win every All-Ireland from now until Kingdom come". What subsequently unfolded led to claims of 2013 being the best championship of all-time. |
1375_108 | After an incredible championship, which saw the three favourites fail to even make the semi-final stage, Cork and Clare emerged at the top of the pile to contest the All-Ireland final. In front of a crowd of 81,651, Clare started brightly with early scores from Darach Honan and Colin Ryan. Clare led by 0–12 to 0–10 at the break, and they continued to bring a remarkable intensity to the contest, forcing the Rebels into errors, which they exploited with further scores from Tony Kelly and the unerring Ryan, who steered over his sixth free for a four-point lead. Cork were far from finished, however, and when Pa Cronin saw his chance, he picked his spot with an accurate finish to the net, and the sides were level going into the final five minutes. Patrick Horgan appeared to have won it for them with his tenth score in stoppage-time, but there was still time for Domhnall O'Donovan to pop up with a dramatic leveller in the 73rd minute. |
1375_109 | The replay just under three weeks later was the first time an All-Ireland hurling decider was played on a Saturday. Clare emerged as champions for the first time since 1997 after defeating Cork by 5–16 to 3–16 in a classic at Croke Park. Shane O'Donnell, a late call-up to the starting line-up in place of Darach Honan, justified his inclusion with a stunning individual haul of 3-3, all from play. O'Donnell hit all three goals in the opening nineteen minutes of the first half and while Cork came from eight points down to draw level during the second half, the winners had a kick left in them as goals from Conor McGrath and sub Honan secured a fourth Liam MacCarthy Cup success for Clare. With 18 minutes left on the watch, the scores were level at 1–16 to 3-10 and they were deadlocked again with ten minutes left as Séamus Harnedy's goal brought Cork on terms, 2–16 to 3-13. But Clare's response was magnificent as McGrath crashed home a magnificent 62nd-minute goal into the top corner of the |
1375_110 | Davin Stand netting. Clare pushed six points clear, 4–16 to 2-16, before Stephen Moylan’s stoppage time goal for Cork brought a spellbound Croke Park to life once more. But in the second minute of stoppage time, Honan cut in from the left touchline and somehow managed to bundle the ball over the line for the eighth goal of a quite incredible spectacle. |
1375_111 | 2014 to 2016 — The old firm: Kilkenny and Tipperary
2014 — An encore after the greatest final of them all |
1375_112 | On 7 September 2014, the Kilkenny-Tipperary hurling rivalry reached its apex with an All-Ireland final display that has come to be regarded as the greatest of all time. Both sides claimed 54 scores and just nine wides between them in a third successive drawn final. As early as the 10th minute, Kilkenny had a two-on-one situation but Colin Fennelly miscued as he attempted to funnel the ball through to brother Michael and the chance was lost. In the 42nd minute, Séamus Callanan’s shot was blocked after taking a pass from Lar Corbett and with 13 minutes remaining. Richie Hogan, with a haul of 0-06 from play, picked up the pieces to fire the Leinster champions into a four-point lead, 3-21 to 1-23. But back came Tipp from that four-point deficit, with Callanan and Paddy Stapleton reducing the deficit to just two. T. J. Reid’s 66th-minute free pushed Kilkenny three ahead again but scores from John O'Dwyer, sub Jason Forde and O’Dwyer again hauled Tipp level. As the game entered its final |
1375_113 | plays, there was time for one massive talking point. After Brian Hogan had a highly debatable free given against him, John O’Dwyer was given a chance to hand Tipp the victory with a 97-metre free. Hawk-Eye confirmed how close he had come to settling a titanic clash, which ended in a draw. |
1375_114 | The replay three weeks later was a very different game. From the start, Kilkenny went with man-marking roles on the Tipperary danger men. Richie Power struck the first goal in the 59th minute and younger brother John, one of three pre-match changes to the starting team, pounced from close range after Darren Gleeson pulled off a save to keep out a deflected Michael Fennelly effort. Tipperary battled valiantly all the way to the end, and when Séamus Callanan scored his second goal of the evening in the 69th minute, a grandstand finish looked certain. Colin Fennelly crowned Kilkenny’s win with the final score of the game as the clock ran out on Tipperary and Henry Shefflin secured a record-breaking 10th winners' medal.
2015 — Galway reeled in by Kilkenny |
1375_115 | On 6 September 2015, Kilkenny faced a Galway team who had been buoyed by a thrilling win over Tipperary in the All-Ireland semi-final. Galway's reason for optimism seemed justified when they settled well to go 0-4 to 0-2 clear in the 9th minute. Kilkenny pounced for a goal in the 13th minute, T. J. Reid rattling the net after being placed in space by Walter Walsh. A Reid free moments later left the Cats ahead 1-04 to 0-05 but it didn’t prove a setback for Galway as they pushed forward again. Joe Canning, Jason Flynn and Conor Whelan all weighed in with some memorable points and they enjoyed a three-point advantage at the interval. Kilkenny emerged a different proposition in the second-half and quickly wiped out Galway’s lead to draw level at 1-11 to 0-14. Trailing by 1-17 to 0-16 at the midway mark of the second-half, the signs looked ominous for Galway as Kilkenny closed out the game in a clinical fashion to secure a 1-22 to 1-18 victory.
2016 — Tipperary finally blow Kilkenny away |
1375_116 | For the sixth time in eight seasons, Kilkenny and Tipperary faced off in an All-Ireland final on 4 September 2016. The pattern of the first-half saw the teams refusing to yield as they stayed close to each other. Kilkenny may have been in front 0-3 to 0-1 after seven minutes but Tipperary soon reeled them in and the teams were level ten times on the scoreboard in the opening period. Seven minutes after the restart, Kilkenny led by 1-14 to 0-15 after a Kevin Kelly goal, however, they then conceded 1-04 without reply which put Tipperary firmly back in control. By the 55th minute, Tipperary had stormed 1-22 to 1-15 and the final nail was hammered into Kilkenny’s coffin with John McGrath’s blast to the net. Richie Hogan slammed a Kilkenny goal in response with a clever ground stroke but Tipperary finished strong and put an end to their Kilkenny bogey with a 2-29 to 2-20 win.
2017 to 2019 — Out with the new and in with the old
2017 — Glorious Galway |
1375_117 | Galway entered the All-Ireland final against Waterford having lost six finals since their previous win in 1988. They started wonderfully to hit four points without replay and scored from their opening nine shots of the game. But Waterford managed to bag two first-half goals, Kevin Moran drilling a shot to the net in the 4th minute and Kieran Bennett’s long delivery deceiving goalkeeper Colm Callanan in the 21st minute. At the break, Galway were ahead 0–14 to 2-7 but Waterford got the better of the early second-half scoring exchanges with a Pauric Mahony free nudging them in front 2-12 to 0-17 by the 47th minute. Galway responded magnificently as they went 0-21 to 2-12 clear. Waterford countered again before Galway stood up once more as they clung to a 0-22 to 2-15 lead with ten minutes remaining. They outscored Waterford 0-4 to 0-2 in the finale as they finally delivered the Liam MacCarthy Cup after 29 years.
2018 — Unlimited heartbreak no more for Limerick |
1375_118 | A remarkable season of championship hurling, the first to employ a new round robin format, saw Galway face Limerck in the All-Ireland final. Limerick got an injection of confidence in the 16th minute with a Graeme Mulcahy goal that arrived moments after Galway had crept in front by 0-6 to 0-5. That provided the platform for Limerick and when their second goal arrived courtesy of Tom Morrissey in the 54th minute it had the feel of sealing the matter. Galway chipped away at Limerick’s advantage but Shane Dowling netted a third Limerick goal. Limerick led by 3–15 to 0–16 with just two minutes of normal time left, however, a madcap and dramatic finale ensued before their status as champions was confirmed. Injury-time goals from Conor Whelan and Joe Canning gave Limerick an almighty fright before Mulcahy scored what proved to be the decisive point to secure the title after a 45-year wait.
2019 — Back to the future for Tipperary |
1375_119 | The decade which saw five different All-Ireland champions ended as it began with a Tipperary-Kilkenny final. Kilkenny had the better of a scrappy opening period, leading by five points after 21 minutes, but a goal from Niall O'Meara kick-started Tipperary’s revival and just before half-time Richie Hogan was dismissed for a high challenge on Tipperary’s corner-back Cathal Barrett. Tipperary led by a point at the interval, 1-09 to 0-11 but, like their old rivals have so often done to them, they came storming out in the third quarter. Team captain Séamus Callanan and John O'Dwyer struck 1-01 apiece to send Tipperary streaking eight clear by the 42nd minute. Kilkenny needed goals after that but Tipperary used the extra man to good effect. Although T. J. Reid led the fight to the end, Tipperary’s substitutes all got in on the scoring spree to close out a comfortable 14-point win. |

All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship |
1376_0 | The Hill GH1 was a Formula One car used by Embassy Hill during the 1975 Formula One season. It was designed by Andy Smallman. The car was initially designated as the Lola T371, but when Smallman left Lola to work full-time for Embassy Hill it was renamed as the Hill GH1. GH1 cars participated in 12 World Championship Grands Prix in 1975, with 21 entries in total using six different drivers. Two points finishes yielded 11th place in the World Constructors' Championship, with three points. |
1376_1 | Racing history
The car was not ready for a Formula One appearance until the third race of the season, the South African Grand Prix, when Rolf Stommelen finished seventh on the car's debut. At the Spanish Grand Prix, Graham Hill did not drive so François Migault took the second car alongside Stommelen. Stommelen led the race until the rear wing on his car broke, sending him into the barrier, ironically at the point that the Embassy Hill mechanics had worked on it. He bounced off it and back into the road, hitting the barrier across the way, and flying over it. Five spectators were killed by Stommelen's car with the driver suffering a broken leg, a broken wrist and two cracked ribs. Migault finished 10th of those still running when the race was stopped but was 11 laps behind, and was officially not classified. |
1376_2 | As a result of the accident, the grid was staggered and in addition, would be restricted to just 18 cars for the subsequent Monaco Grand Prix. This last change affected Graham Hill's chance to qualify, the five-time Monaco winner had practice problems and failed to qualify by 0.377 seconds. Tony Brise replaced Hill, and Migault returned to replace Stommelen, for the Belgian Grand Prix. Brise, on his debut, gained a fourth-row start but spun at the chicane and retired shortly afterwards (lap 18) with piston failure. Migault retired with Suspension failure on lap 58. |
1376_3 | Vern Schuppan drove the second Hill alongside Brise for the Swedish Grand Prix. Brise was showing little respect for his elders, overtaking Mark Donohue and Ronnie Peterson and challenging championship leader Emerson Fittipaldi. Then his gearbox jammed in fourth and he was re-passed by Donohue, but in his third Grand Prix, gained his first World Championship point and Graham Hill's first as a constructor. It would prove the only point of Brise's F1 career. Schuppan Retired with Transmission failure on lap 48. |
1376_4 | Alan Jones drove the second Hill alongside Brise for four races. The first was the Dutch Grand Prix when Brise finished seventh and Jones 13th. At the French Grand Prix, Brise finished seventh and Jones 16th. Prior to the British Grand Prix Graham Hill announced his retirement as a driver after 17 seasons and 176 races to concentrate on running the Embassy Hill team. Jones finished 10th and Brise 15th despite him, Wilson Fittipaldi (Fittipaldi), Dave Morgan (Surtees), John Nicholson, (Lyncar), Brian Henton, (Lotus), Carlos Pace (Brabham), Jody Scheckter (Tyrrell) and James Hunt (Hesketh) going off at Club Corner and the race being red flagged. The German Grand Prix saw the Hill team's best result with Jones 5th but Brise retired through accident. Stommelen returned for the rain-shortened Austrian Grand Prix where he finished 16th and Brise 15th. At the Italian Grand Prix Brise pleased the Embassy Hill team by gaining a third-row spot. but both he and Stommelen retired with accidents. |
1376_5 | The United States Grand Prix was the final race for Brise and the Embassy Hill team, which only entered Brise who retired through accident on lap five. |
1376_6 | Embassy Hill air crash
On the evening of 29 November 1975, double-world champion Graham Hill was piloting a Piper Aztec light aircraft from France to London. His passengers were team manager Ray Brimble, driver Tony Brise, designer Andy Smallman and mechanics Terry Richards and Tony Alcock. They were returning from Paul Ricard where they had been testing the Hill GH2 being prepared for 1976. They were due to land at Elstree Airfield before onward travel to London to attend a party. Shortly before 10pm, the plane hit trees beside a golf course at Arkley in thick fog. In the ensuing crash and explosion, everyone on board was killed. As Embassy Hill now only consisted of the deputy team manager and two mechanics, it was impossible to continue, and so the team closed down.

1377_0 | Slagelse Municipality is a municipality (Danish: kommune) in Region Zealand on the west coast of the island of Zealand (Danish: Sjælland) in Denmark. The municipality covers an area of 571 km². The municipality borders Kalundborg Municipality to the north, Sorø Municipality to the north-east, Næstved Municipality to the south-east and connects to Nyborg Municipality via the Great Belt Bridge.
The main city and the site of the municipal council is the city of Slagelse. The mayor has since 2017 been John Dyrby Paulsen, a member of the Social Democratic political party.
The municipality include the inhabited islands of Omø, Agersø and Glænø, as well as the uninhabited islands of Sprogø, Østerfed, Stenfed, Ormø, Fuglehøj, Sandholm, Kidholm and Fugleholm.
On 1 January 2007 the former Slagelse municipality was, as the result of Kommunalreformen ("The Municipal Reform" of 2007), merged with Hashøj, Korsør, and Skælskør municipalities to form an enlarged Slagelse municipality. |
1377_1 | History |
1377_2 | Slagelse has existed since the 1000s, and coins have been minted there since Cnut the Great's time. It was granted the status of market town by Eric V in 1288. Skælskør was given market town status in 1414. Korsør was granted the same status in 1425. While Slagelse and Skælskør were already important locations before becoming a market town, with the ring castle of Trelleborg located next to Slagelse, Korsør was a more insignificant town before becoming a market town. Korsør's location quickly made it an important town for ferry services to Nyborg on Funen. The three towns became competitors for the land and resources. Korsør's importance as a way to get to Funen allowed Korsør to be favoritized over Slagelse until the 1600s. The town remained small, but fared better than Slagelse, who was struggling. This was also linked to Korsør's access to the sea, giving them a variety of opportunities and privileges, including being able to ship out the grain from many farm areas on western |
1377_3 | Zealand, leaving them in conflict with the neighboring towns. Slagelse's economy was meanwhile mainly based on artisanry and tobacco. Skælskør was a lesser part of the conflict on western Zealand. |
1377_4 | Through the middle ages the three towns remained market towns, with the remaining territory of the current municipality going under the administrative hundreds of Slagelse Hundred and Vester Flakkebjerg Hundred. These belonged to the syssel of Vestersyssel. In 1660 the syssel was changed and split up into two counties (Danish: amter). These were Antvorskov County and Korsør County, and they approximately made up the current borders of Slagelse Municipality. In 1798 these counties were merged with Sorø County. In the 1970 Danish Municipal Reform the administrative division of the region was changed again. Market towns were dissolved, and Slagelse instead became the seat of the new Slagelse Municipality. Korsør became the seat of Korsør Municipality, Skælskør of Skælskør Municipality and Dalmose of Hashøj Municipality. All four municipalities were in the new West Zealand County. In the Municipal Reform of 2007 these four municipalities were merged to form the current municipality, which |

1378_0 | A surf break (also break, shore break, or big wave break) is a permanent (or semi permanent) obstruction such as a coral reef, rock, shoal, or headland that causes a wave to break, forming a barreling wave or other wave that can be surfed, before it eventually collapses. The topography of the seabed determines the shape of the wave and type of break. Since shoals can change size and location, affecting the break, it takes commitment and skill to find good breaks. Some surf breaks are quite dangerous, since the surfer can collide with a reef or rocks below the water.
Surf breaks may be defended vehemently by surfers, as human activities and constructions can have unintended and unpredictable consequences which can be either positive, negative, or unknown.
Types
There are numerous types of surf breaks. These are defined as permanent or semi permanent obstructions that causes a wave to break, rather than by the nature of the wave itself (see under 'Types of surfable waves' below). |
1378_1 | Artificial wave pools are an example of technology changing what is considered a 'surf break' or 'surfable wave'.
Some 'surf break' locations may be partly or wholly formed and influenced by human activities (see under 'Human influence on surf breaks' below). These effects are variable and may be either negative or positive with respect to the effect on local surf quality.
Point break
A point break refers to the place where waves hit a point of land or rocks jutting out from the coastline. Bells Beach in Australia and Jardim do Mar in Madeira, Portugal are examples of point breaks.
They can break either left or right, and in rare cases forms a central peak which breaks both ways around a central headland. (E.g. beach in the Punta Negra District of Peru). The bottom can be made of rocks, sand, or coral. |
1378_2 | Beach break
A beach break takes place where waves break on a usually sandy seabed. An example of a classic beach break is Hossegor in Southern France, which is famous for waves of up to .
Sometimes 'beaches' can contain little or no sand, and the 'beach' bottom may be only rock or boulders and pebbles. A 'boulder beach' is an example.
Reef break
A reef break happens when a wave breaks over a coral reef or a rocky seabed. Examples are Cloudbreak in Fiji and Jaws in Maui. |
1378_3 | A reef break may occur close to the shore, or well offshore from the shoreline, breaking in open ocean and petering out before the wave reaches the shore. Examples include Queenscliff Bommie in Australia and Dungeons in South Africa. In Australia these open ocean reefs are sometimes called Bombora or 'Bommie' waves, after the aboriginal word for offshore reef, 'bombora'. Sometimes reefs which occur in open ocean but which do not breach the surface are also called 'Banks'. The Cortes Bank off California is an example.
There are also examples of man-made reefs specifically designed and made for surfing. Some artificial harbours also create new reef break waves. Examples include Newcastle Harbour in Australia.
Shipwreck break
A "Shipwreck break" usually forms from sand built up over submerged or partly submerged shipwrecks. They may be either temporary or more or less permanent, depending on whether the wreck remains in place for a significant period. |
1378_4 | Examples occur at the SS Monte Carlo at the Silver Strand, The Wreck, Byron Bay, NSW, and at Stockton Beach, Newcastle, NSW.
Shore break
A shore break is a wave that breaks directly on, or very close to the shore. This happens when the beach is very steep at the shoreline. These waves are really just a form of beach or reef break, but breaking very close to the shore.
Rivermouth break
A rivermouth break breaks at or near the entrance to a river or creek. It can break as either a left-breaking or right-breaking wave, or a peak which breaks both ways. The bottom is usually sand, but can be pebbles, rocks, or even coral reef.
Examples include Mundaka in Spain, and Merimbula bar in Australia.
They are sometimes called 'Bar' breaks because of the way the sand piles up along the shoreline.
Jetty break |
1378_5 | These waves break along or near a jetty. They are also called 'groynes' in some places. Examples include Long Beach in New York, The Wedge in California, and Duranbah Groyne in Australia.
Jetty and groyne style waves are known for often exhibiting constructive interference between different incoming waves to produce a significantly larger, 'wedging' style of wave, due to the unusual extension of obstruction that juts out significantly from the shore, and which wave shape is often favored by surfers. This is an example of a human influence which actually may improve a wave's shape and quality for surfing, however in other cases the effect for surfing may be negative.
Natural 'wedge' style constructive interference can however occur on any type of surf break, provided the local wave dynamics are favorable.
Outer banks |
1378_6 | A type of open ocean surf break, these occur where sand build ups occur well offshore to produce breaking waves in the open ocean, which are sometimes called 'Outer Banks', which are similar to open ocean reefs except that they are generally made of sand, and may disappear or change with storms. The 'Outer Banks' in North Carolina is an example. They can also be made of more permanent rocky reefs.
Tidal bore breaks
Numerous tidal bore waves are known, some of which have also been surfed for several kilometres or more and many kilometres from the ocean, making them the longest rideable waves in the world.
They are formed where stronger and larger tides enter a river or deltaic system, allowing the tide to forcefully push and extend up the river, sometimes forming rideable waves. The waves can be singular or multiple crested.
They form at specific times of the day, month, and year due to tidal currents, and can be accurately predicted. |
