You could model the tides as a simple harmonic motion. This is a form of a sine (or cosine) curve and will enable you to predict the times when the tide is coming in, reaches high tide, when it is ebbing and low tide. This information should help determine the best Surfing time.

Who discoved trignometry?
About 100 b.c., during the period of the Alexandrian Greeks, the Greek astronomer Hipparchus developed what is today called spherical trigonometry. The Greek astronomers used spherical trigonometry to determine the time of day, direction of motion, and the positions of ships or reference points. Greek trigonometry flourished in the following centuries, reaching its highest point with the astronomer Menelaus (first century a.d.) and his successor, Ptolemy. Following the decline of Greek civilization about 640 a.d., little progress occurred until the advancement of science and mathematics recommenced during the Renaissance, beginning approximately in 1400.
What is the most common way trig is used in everyday life?
Global Positioning Systems (GPS) use trigonometry. There are a number of satellites orbiting the earth. The GPS uses the time signals sent by these satellites to establish the distance to the satellites. Trigonometry is then used to find the location of the GPS unit.
Who are the mathematicians that developed trigonometry?
The first recorded use of trigonometry came from the Hellenistic mathematician Hipparchus circa 150 BC, who compiled a trigonometric table using the sine for solving triangles. Ptolemy further developed trigonometric calculations circa 100 ADDevelopment of trigonometry is not the work of any one man or nation. It first originated in India and the basic concepts of angle and measurements was noted in Vedic texts such as Srimad Bhagavatam. However, trigonometry in its present form was established in Surya Siddhanta and later by Aryabhata [5th century CE]. It should be noted that from the time of Hipparchus until modern times there was no such thing as a trigonometric ratio. Instead, the Indian civilization and after them the Greeks and the Muslims used trigonometric lines.Pythagoras of Samos (580? BC- 500? BC) was an Ionian Greek mathematician and also founder of the religious movement called Pythagoreanism.Nasir al-Din al-Tusi (1135-1213) (aka Sharafeddin Tusi) widely promulgated studies in trigonometry, which was compiled by him as a new subject in its own right for the first time. He also developed the subject of spherical trigonometry.
