In context.
A long, dark-sand Mediterranean beach facing the Alboran Sea, near the wind-funnelling Strait of Gibraltar. Water is generally calm with some wind-driven chop rather than a surf break; the seabed holds scattered rocks. Windsurfing, kitesurfing, canoeing, sailing and diving are practised here. It holds Blue Flag status and sees high summer occupancy. A municipal beach-safety service with lifeguards, jet skis and support boats operates through summer.

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?
4Shor uses ShorSense™ — our coastal intelligence engine that combines satellite-derived bathymetry (fancy word for underwater mapping), advanced wave models with wind and tide data to generate precision, hyper-local forecasts.
Is it really a free trial?
