In context.
A wild, remote beach roughly 300m long at Lanzarote's northern tip sits below reddish cliffs, facing NNE into the Atlantic. Strong swell and currents make swimming unsuitable most days; signs prohibit it. It is a reef break with a left-hand wave, used by surfers, best on north swell with southwest wind near high tide; the rocky bottom is a hazard at low water, within a natural park. Nudism is permitted; no lifeguard.

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.

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?
