Ray,
I've been a surfer for some 30 odd years now, as for wave names, the only types that spring to mind are "beach break", "barrel", as far as I'm aware they don't really have names, the following site http://www.a1surf.com/ has loads of good info on the types of waves you get at different spots, it may be of some use to you.

Big ones, small ones, ones that pound you into next week, ones that submerge you for far longer than you had in mind...... etc.....
I don't surf, just windsurf, and I think the waves required are slightly different, so I'm told.... No that that's much help

Takes bloody ages to load, even on broadband, but there's a few things on there
transverse waves, oblique waves, etc etc....
