It seems that I made a mistake in previous calculation.
Correct calculation —
where x is retreat velocity (the negative of advancing velocity)
However this formula is not greater than the traditional one ;/
Sorry guys.
Anyway, unlike traditional MEA which you can use for only one wave — this formula is capable of being used to maximize escape angle of every wave. Therefore it is still better — useful for wave surfers.
The best retreat angle (considering only MEA) is — 1.152871236rad.
And for 19.7 wave speed — the result is mea = 0.414994rad, while the traditional one is 0.418172793rad. Pretty close though? (0.1821°) And you can do that for every wave! (until you hit the wall ;) )
