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 2 km sandy beach break facing ENE, catching westerly and south-westerly swell, best September-April; rocky areas are a hazard and the spot needs significant swell to work. Kitesurfing is banned 10:00-19:30 from 15 June-15 September, otherwise permitted only below mid-tide. Dogs banned June-September. SNSM lifeguards typically cover July-August. The large tidal range, roughly 2.4-11 m, is critical; low tide suits both surf entry and kite launching.
