What exactly is “broceanography”?
According to Wikipedia
Broceanography is surf jargon for the ability to predict when and where to surf on a given stretch of coast.[1] It is an interdisciplinary field of study, drawing on meteorological, oceanographic and geographical information, to ensure that ideal surf conditions are never missed. One who practices broceanography is referred to as a "broceanographer". The playful application of the "bro" affix to a word originated in Southern California, where a cliquish group of surfers decided to affirm their membership of the surfing sub-culture by retro-fitting existing language with "bro-fixes". The practice does not appear to have spread beyond the United States.
That’s a pretty fair technical definition of the term. I’d say if you put any thought into deciding where/when to surf, then you might as well call yourself a broceanographer.
Also, I find it difficult to believe that nobody outside the U.S. is using bro-fixes. Can I get a brah-men?
Yo. So. A while back Chris (with a Ch) sent me your blog url and I have been having a splendidly voyeur-ific time coming and reading and I always wondered, “What the heck does broceanography mean?”
And now I know. And I feel more well-rounded.
Peace from the other coast.

Your definition is very helpful and clears up much confusion. Perhaps you could offer a similarly lucid explanation of the term “vagitation.”
