A recent study has warned that the climate crisis is poised to damage many of the world’s most renowned surf breaks.
Researchers explain that rising tide levels, shifting sand deposits and the hardening of coastlines are altering wave formation, reducing the consistency and quality of surf spots.
The impacts extend beyond surfers, affecting coastal ecosystems and the communities that rely on these marine environments.
The study highlights the need for continued monitoring of these physical changes to preserve the future of surfing and related activities.
