In context.

The main town beach of the island's capital: a long, wide, sheltered strand of dark volcanic sand and pebbles with calm water and slight waves, shielded further by an adjoining harbour breakwater and marina. It suits swimming and relaxation rather than surf or watersports, with no reef or submerged-rock hazards documented. Lifeguards and Red Cross cover are present year-round, though exact hours are unpublished. The beach faces southeast.

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?
