Haven’t you ever noticed that seagulls<\/strong> are often parked on the sand in front of pretty breakers<\/strong>?<\/p>\n It’s only a short step from there to the conclusion that to find good waves, you have to look where the seagulls are, and I’m going to take it<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Of course, it sounds a little absurd, but it isn’t: the waves break over a mound called a sandbank<\/strong>. The sandbank is the area of the beach that the sifter<\/strong> – the tractor that rakes the beach to collect garbage – has difficulty reaching, because the sand is too wet and the machine could get stuck. <\/p>\n This is the area of the beach that has not been sterilized by<\/strong> tractor sieving<\/strong>. Here, seagulls find organic life<\/strong>, mollusks and shellfish, which they feed on. <\/p>\n Moreover, the longest waves break on a break in the sandbar<\/strong>, at its transition to the ba\u00efne<\/strong>. Fish love this mixing zone. It’s easy to see why waves = fish = seagulls<\/strong>. <\/p>\n So, if the seagulls haven’t chosen the spot for the quality of its waves, at least they’ve decided to park in front of them<\/strong>, close to their food source.<\/p>\n Finding seagulls is also a sign of low human and canine density<\/strong> and, by inference, a good sign for surfers looking for quiet waves<\/strong> away from the crowds.<\/p>\n Let’s pay tribute to these inhabitants of an ecosystem<\/strong> that homo sapiens surveys and disturbs, with his tractors, electric bikes and Labradors.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Watching seagulls for waves Haven’t you ever noticed that seagulls are often parked on the sand in front of pretty breakers?
