Impact of waves on events

What do you see?

Studland Beach, near Swanage, England

Wave types

Wind driven:

Swell:

Traffic

Wind over tide

Wind + Tide

Impact of beach on events

World Rowing - Shenzhen Beach, China

Some additional things to assess

Gradient of slope at

each tide state

Direction compared

to prevailing winds

Composition (sand,

pebble & rock)

Local Hazards

(e.g. traffic)

Beach gradient

Low gradient = waves break early, crumbly

& well spaced

Steep gradient = waves break late, dumpy and close

together

Beach gradient

Wave form will change across tide state

Beach risks

Shenzhen Beach, China

Risks - boat

Risks - people

Changes in risk through the day

Competence required

(rower, cox & boat handlers)

Time of day

Level of risk

Swell forecast

Tide prediction

Key points

• Swell and beach profile at each tide state are

as important as wind speed and direction

• Rowers will push themselves to compete –

someone has to assess their competence

• Beach handling and coxing skill are as

important as rowing

Some boat considerations

• Downward facing bows tend to ‘spear’ steep

beaches

• Bow mounted riggers mounted above seat cause

risk to rowers during beach impact

• Sharp objects cause risk during beach impact

• Boat handling features are important

• Wear and tear

Boat Handling

Check the boat

Brief the crew

Key boat handler roles - launch

3 roles at launch – bow rigger

Blade & stabilise(lead as they see athlete)

Blade & seat

Pitch and direct boat

Signaling

Coastal Barbarians – Studland, England

Directing

Boat handling tips

• Stay clear

• 3 people is safer

• Check the boat continuously due

to rapid heats

Rowing

Rowing out

Rowing back

• Take a mark

• Catch the wave

• Hold course

Rowing back – initiate surfing

Rowing back - surfing

Coastal Barbarians – Pwllheli, Wales

Rowing back – lean in if you end up sideways

Key ‘takeaways’

• Assess tide and swell

• Choose appropriate boats

• Assess competence of all crews

and handlers - manage risk
