How does wave height affect the ride?

Higher wave height increases air compression and the weight of the falling lip, which typically requires higher speeds to maintain the ride.

What is the purpose of the exit window calculation?

The `get_exit_window` tool calculates the time remaining before the barrel collapses, providing a safety margin to ensure a clean exit.

Can I use this to plan my speed for a specific barrel length?

Yes, you can use `get_speed_requirements` to determine the minimum and optimal velocities needed for a specific target duration and barrel length.

This MCP server provides specialized tools for surfers to calculate the temporal windows and velocity requirements for riding inside a breaking wave barrel. By accounting for fluid dynamics like the foam ball and air compression, the tools help predict how long a ride will last and the minimum speed needed to avoid being caught by the lip. Use get_ride_duration to estimate time, get_speed_requirements for velocity needs, get_exit_window for safety margins, and get_environmental_impact to understand drag and pressure factors.
