How do I use the dive parameters tool?

Use `calculate_dive_parameters` by providing the wave height in meters, the wave period in seconds, and your surfboard volume in liters.

Can I estimate how hard it will be to submerge my board?

Yes, you can use `estimate_buoyancy_resistance` to quantify the additional force needed to submerge your specific board based on its volume and the wave height.

How does turbulence affect my dive?

You can use `analyze_turbulence_risk` to determine the risk level and intensity of the turbulence zone created by the wave's energy.

This MCP server provides specialized tools for surfers to calculate the physical requirements of a duck dive. By analyzing wave height, period, and board volume, users can determine the requiredDepth needed to clear the wave's energy, the timingWindow to initiate the dive, and the effortScore required to overcome buoyancy. It also includes tools to analyze_turbulence_risk and estimate_buoyancy_resistance to ensure safety in various ocean conditions.
