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.
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.
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.
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.
A rugged reef spot facing NNW, with a shallow rocky reef producing lefts and a powerful right-hand barrel, best on NNW swell with offshore southerly winds, typically flat in summer, livelier autumn and winter. Three natural tidal pools alongside, one open to the sea, with railings and a wheelchair ramp. Cruz Roja lifeguards cover the pools weekends and holidays, 11:00-18:00, early summer to mid-September.
