03 · Location

In context.

A compact cove beneath unstable sandstone cliffs, within a national park. Sandy at low tide, turning to rocks, boulders and pebbles with rock pools at high tide, when the beach is largely covered. The sheltered, south-east-facing bay gives a small beach-break surf for surfers, bodyboarders, sea-kayaking and coasteering; bathing water quality is rated excellent. Strong, changeable currents run offshore. No lifeguard; access is via a steep path and steps.

Can 4Shor provide more accurate forecasts than my existing app?

Current forecast apps only provide swell, wind and tide data and in many cases expect you to do the analysis yourself. 4Shor goes the extra mile — we model how waves will break and build that into our forecasts to allow us to create conditions scores for your chosen water sport and skill level – something that no other app does.
