<< How do you judge whether there's sufficient depth to accommodate your torso? >> Waves will generally break in water in which the depth is one and one half times the height of the wave. That is to say a four foot wave will generally break in six feet of water. So determining that there is enough depth to accommodate your torso is not all that difficult. Determining that there are not any big rocks hiding under the surface is another matter.
