BEST EFOIL FORECAST APP
The best e-foilingforecast app?
Windy, Windguru are all good at what they do. Here's a fair look at where each wins for e-foiling — and where a per-ability, physics-grounded score fits.
eFoils are powered, so the usual wind and swell forecasts are the wrong tool — you want the flattest, calmest water, which apps like Windy and Windguru are not built to score. 4Shor scores eFoiling for calm: light wind and low chop rank highest, so you can find the glassy window rather than read around a wind map.

Reading the table
Every tool here is genuinely useful — they're built for different jobs. Windy is reading the weather models; Windguru is wind sports — quick tables.
What only 4Shor does for e-foiling: model how conditions actually behave at each spot on its own high-resolution European seabed map, then score that per sport and per ability. The 0–100 score is the output of real nearshore physics, which is why it can be read as a decision rather than a rating.

FAQ
E-Foiling forecast app — common questions
What's the best e-foiling forecast app?
eFoils are powered, so the usual wind and swell forecasts are the wrong tool — you want the flattest, calmest water, which apps like Windy and Windguru are not built to score. 4Shor scores eFoiling for calm: light wind and low chop rank highest, so you can find the glassy window rather than read around a wind map.
Is 4Shor a good alternative to Windy for e-foiling?
Windy is strong for reading the weather models. 4Shor's edge for e-foiling is the per-ability 0–100 score built from nearshore wave physics: Ideal eFoiling is flat, glassy water and light wind — the board is powered, so it wants calm rather than swell or breeze; sheltered bays on a still morning are prime. Many riders use both — one to read the raw conditions, 4Shor to decide where to go.
Does 4Shor score e-foiling by ability?
Yes. Every spot is scored 0–100 for Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced and Expert, so the same conditions read differently for a learner and an expert — updated hourly across 2,500+ European e-foiling spots.
