Great 10 points, Doug, but you don't mention landability as being influenced by the periodicity of the surf. Here in the Great Lakes, we often get surf from waves in close succession, say, one every two seconds. When even three and four foot waves break that fast, landing or launching becomes challenging. By contrast, going through similar amplitude but longer period waves is easier because you have time to recover before getting whacked again. So, if possible, gauge not only how big the waves are but how fast they are coming on.
