03 · Location

In context.

A broad, 3 km Blue Flag sandy beach on the north Normandy coast; rock outcrops near Pointe du Siège emerge at low spring tides. A sandbank about 500 m offshore creates a beach-break developing from mid-tide, alongside dedicated kitesurfing and windsurfing zones. Tidal range reaches 7-8 m, with fast currents that trap bathers and foot-fishers on sandbars — entry is safest near the supervised zones, where SNSM lifeguards operate late June to early September.

Is 4Shor for me?

If you surf, foil, paddleboard, swim or anything in between — and want to know exactly what the conditions will be like for you — then yes, 4Shor's for you. 🌊

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.

What's the science behind 4Shor?

Is it really a free trial?

Yep. Both Premium and Pro come with a 7-day free trial. You get full access for 7 days, then decide if the sessions saved are worth the price of a post-surf burrito.
