Sea Gales Bend explores the science of surviving ocean storms, focusing on the surprising power of body positioning and understanding wave dynamics.
It reveals how proactive techniques, combined with meteorological forecasting, can significantly improve survival rates during increasingly frequent and severe coastal storms.
For example, understanding how waves interact with solid surfaces is paramount in mitigating wave impact.
The book synthesizes traditional maritime knowledge with modern scientific analysis, offering actionable strategies for coastal residents, emergency responders, and recreational water users.
It progresses from the fundamentals of wave formation and storm surge to specific body positioning strategies, case studies of storm survival, and the integration of meteorological forecasting.
This approach connects human biomechanics with fluid dynamics, providing readers with a practical guide to coastal safety and climate change adaptation.
