## Description

This MCP server provides analytical tools for surfers to optimize their performance based on wave kinematics and environmental conditions. Use `get_optimal_approach_angle` to find the best angle to stay in the pocket, `calculate_section_matching_speed` to match the velocity of the breaking section, `estimate_air_time_potential` to predict verticality and flight time, and `evaluate_ride_safety` to assess the risks of specific wave and gear combinations.

## Tools

### calculate_section_matching_speed
How fast do I need to travel to stay ahead of the breaking part of the wave?

### estimate_air_time_potential
How much verticality and air time can I expect from this wave?

### evaluate_ride_safety
Is this specific combination of wave and gear safe to ride?

### get_optimal_approach_angle
At what angle should I point my board to stay in the pocket of the wave?

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What angle should I point my board to stay in the pocket? The wave is moving at 5 m/s at 90 degrees, wind is at 45 degrees, and I am using a Shortboard.
```

**Response:** 
```
You should maintain an approach angle of 15 degrees from the wave direction, resulting in a recommended heading of 105 degrees.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How fast do I need to go to stay ahead of the wave? Wave speed is 4 m/s, direction is 180 degrees, steepness is 0.3, and I have a Fish board.
```

**Response:** 
```
Your target speed is 4.6 m/s, with a recommended velocity buffer of 0.4 m/s.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is it safe to ride a 6 m/s wave with 0.5 steepness using a Shortboard? Wind is at 200 degrees and wave is at 180 degrees.
```

**Response:** 
```
The safety rating is 65. The primary risk factor is High Wind Overturning. It is recommended to use a longer board.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I use the approach angle tool?**
Provide the wave speed, wave direction, wind direction, and your board type to `get_optimal_approach_angle` to receive a recommended heading.

**Can I use this with different surfboard types?**
Yes, the tools account for Longboard, Shortboard, Fish, and Gun profiles to ensure accurate physics calculations.

**Does wind direction affect the results?**
Yes, wind direction is a critical input for `estimate_air_time_potential` and `evaluate_ride_safety` as it influences wave steepness and stability.
