~~By "better", I mean the traditional MEA is wrong. However I can't prove my formula is correct either.~~

~~Anyway, it is better, because it is always greater than the traditional one (while conforming to the Game Physics). Therefore closer to the theoretical MEA.~~

It turns out that I'm wrong. Anyway the updated calculation is useful for surfers — especially when you need to retreat and there is more than one wave.

*Don't worry about the formula returning small values. My brute force MEA returns a lower value than asin which is completely wrong but higher than the full orbit MEA 8 / Vb. 
*Traditional mea is wrong because the wave can hit when going directly to the target point which is calculated by MEA.
