Built from the sea floor up.

Seafloor mapping
Satellite-derived bathymetry with 10 m pixels and 10 cm vertical resolution out to ~40 m depth. The shape of the seabed is what determines where and how waves break.
National met-office wind models
Most apps run a single global model at 9–25 km. We blend regional NWP from national meteorological offices at 1.3–2 km — UK Met Office UKV, Météo-France AROME HD, ItaliaMeteo ICON-2I — with ECMWF IFS for the 8-day horizon. Finer resolution means the sea breeze, cliff funnelling and bay shadowing that changes everything for a session.
Coastal propagation
A nearshore wave model propagates the spectrum across the bathymetric mesh — modelling refraction, shoaling, dissipation, focusing and breaking as it goes. Most apps stop at swell + wind. We go further.
Per-sport scoring
10 sport models × 4 ability levels weight wave height, period, wind, tide and breaking conditions differently — calibrated against ridden sessions so the scores mean what they say.
In context.
A long, pristine east-facing crescent of golden sand within a protected natural park, undeveloped and free of buildings. Scattered stones lie on the surface and shallows. Summer is calm and windless; autumn through spring, easterly wind builds waves over 1 m on the bay's right side, suiting kitesurfing, windsurfing and beach-break surfing. Watersports are banned in the crowded summer season. Vehicle access is fee-limited in summer. No lifeguard service.
