This MCP server provides precise oceanographic calculations for surfers and oceanographers. Use calculate_wave_geometry to get a full profile of a wave, including its face angle and barrel potential. You can also use get_wave_speed to find the velocity of the wave front or evaluate_barrel_quality to assess surfability based on steepness and seafloor slope.

Calculate the wave geometry for a 2m wave breaking in 1.5m of water with a 3 degree beach slope.

The wave face angle is 53.13 degrees, the barrel potential is Medium, the wave speed is 12.13 m/s, and the estimated ride duration is 0.33 seconds.

How fast is a wave moving if the breaking depth is 5 meters?

The wave speed is 22.12 m/s.

Is a wave with a 65 degree angle and a 2 degree slope a good barrel?

Yes, the barrel potential is High.

Use the `calculate_wave_geometry` tool. Provide the wave height, breaking depth, and beach slope to receive the angle, potential score, speed, and duration.
