03 · Location

In context.

A west-facing Atlantic beach break on the Médoc coast, backed by pine forest, quieter than beaches further south. The sandy break gives lefts and rights over sandbanks that shift seasonally, on west or north-west swell with offshore wind; tide has little effect on wave quality. Kitesurfing is banned on the ocean beach, restricted to the nearby lake instead; dogs banned in summer. Bathers must stay within the flagged zone. Baïne rips are the main hazard.

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