"Surf's down' could be the clarion call from climate change

Surfers are known for their extreme passions exhibited in pursuit of the perfect wave.

Climate change could end
 the "perfect wave".

Climate change will put even greater demands on those passions as The Sydney Morning Herald reports that our rapidly changing global climate will likely affect prime surfing spots worldwide.

It says: “In California, the forecasts for Monterey Bay's famed big swells, while far from certain, are also far from good.”

The story; “Surf's down: Climate change may flatten famed surfing waves” reports that one major source for California's surfing waves are open-ocean storms that send wave-generating swells toward the California coast.

“By 2100,” the story reports, “these storms could shift, sending their swells on a course parallel to the coast rather than toward it. This change, coupled with dramatic sea-level rise, could eradicate today's surfing spots.”
