Satellite-derived bathymetry with 10 m pixels and 10 cm vertical resolution out to ~40 m depth. The shape of the seabed is what determines where and how waves break.
Most apps run a single global model at 9–25 km. We blend regional NWP from national meteorological offices at 1.3–2 km — UK Met Office UKV, Météo-France AROME HD, ItaliaMeteo ICON-2I — with ECMWF IFS for the 8-day horizon. Finer resolution means the sea breeze, cliff funnelling and bay shadowing that changes everything for a session.
A nearshore wave model propagates the spectrum across the bathymetric mesh — modelling refraction, shoaling, dissipation, focusing and breaking as it goes. Most apps stop at swell + wind. We go further.
10 sport models × 4 ability levels weight wave height, period, wind, tide and breaking conditions differently — calibrated against ridden sessions so the scores mean what they say.
A small, remote pebble-and-rock cove tucked inside steep cliffs, reached by a 1.4 km steep foot track, with private cars banned on the access road daily 10:00-22:00 from mid-May to mid-October. Mixed sand, pebble and posidonia seabed with rocky sides; clear water suits snorkelling rather than surf, kite or windsurf. No lifeguard or facilities. Water shoes recommended; northerly and northeasterly winds bring swell into this ENE-facing bay.
