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.
This is a sheltered, flat-water sandy beach on the Gulf of Trieste, a leading kite and windsurf spot thanks to the strong side-on Bora wind — a family-friendly free beach, not for surfing. The seabed is shallow and gently sloping west, dropping more steeply east; the launch area is grass and gravel. A dedicated kite/windsurf corridor stays accessible during the bathing season (23 May–14 Sept). Lifeguards staff the pier Fridays to Sundays, 09:00–19:00.
