Will a full moon give better waves such as bigger or smaller weak ones ?

l am not sure that the full moon will effect the strength of the waves, but what is likely to happen is that the surf will break in a different place because of the difference in tides. A full moon is generally associated with more drastic (higher high tides & lower low tides) tides. These drastic tides mean that the surf may be likely to break in a different place than it would normally, which often means u may find some surfable waves.

Essentially, what is happening is that u r getting water depths that r different to the norm - during the full moon high tide there may be water over sand that is normally dry & during a full moon low tide u may have surf over an area of the ocean floor that normally has too much depth to have breaking waves.

Now....go surf!

l would not think so. The moon affects the tides which could affect how the waves break. But l do not think it affects the wave size

There r a dozen different factors that dictate how well the waves will break at a certain location.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_surfa.

The size of the swell, the period of the swell, wave length & amplitude, wind direction, wind speed, bottom features (steep slope, gradual slope, sandy, rocky, coarl reef..) & TIDE (how much water there is over thsoe bottiom features) all make a difference. There r thousand of 'high tide breaks', where the waves r best a high tide. However, some reef breaks or breaks over sandbars, r best at low tide (too much water means that the waves wo not 'break').

Since the tides r somewhat effected by the phases of the moon, then u could say that the the moon has some effect on waves. But it is so remote, that it is not worth considering. Full moon on a a rising tide with a northeaster blowing can mean big trouble if u r on the coast of the northeast US.
