03 · Location

In context.

A compact, sheltered beach of dark volcanic boulders, pebbles and coarse gravel sits in front of a harbour pier on Gran Canaria's northwest coast, with no sand and no surf break. Calm water suits swimming and snorkelling; a shore-dive site offshore reaches 12m with little current, suitable for all levels. A promenade gives easy access. A seasonal lifeguard covers summer, with an adapted beach wheelchair available. Boulders underfoot need care at low tide.

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?

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?
