1. Where does the "Current Conditions" come from? What exactly is Wave Period, Height, and Direction?

All of our data is currently retrieved on an hourly basis by CDIP buoy's (specifically the La Jolla Outer Buoy - Station 100). To figure out what each of the measurements mean go their site.

2. What’s an Expression Session?

An Expression Session is a collection of photos from a given surf session posted on our website by one of our Insider photographers. The time and place are random. SurfShot.com's reporters and SurfShot Insiders will photograph surfers at random, and, later, the best photos will be uploaded to our site.
