Surfers shun beaches shielded by islands off the coast. This dampens waves and makes for a boringly calm surf best left to sunbathers. The surfers' reasoning is sound for the short-wave, wind-generated swells that they ride. But Themistoklis Stefanakis, of the Ecole Normale Superieure in Cachan, France, warns it may not be true for the longer wavelengths of tsunamis. As he and his colleagues show in a paper posted on arXiv, an online repository, littoral islands may actually exacerbate, rather than diminish, the effects of these waves.
