In context.
A wild, remote reef-and-sand beach facing NNW within a protected natural park area, with rocky shallows and caves along the shoreline. A left-hand reef break receives NNW ground- and windswells, working best in winter and often flat in summer; rocks and rip currents are documented hazards, and entry is safer around high tide. Strong, onshore or cross-shore winds leave it blown out much of the time. It is unsupervised and unflagged, with no lifeguard cover.

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?

Absolutely. Whether you're chasing your first green wave or doing your first kitesurf body drag, 4Shor helps you choose the right place at the right time for your sport and ability. Think of it as a smart local who knows when it's mellow enough for learning and when it's time to sit on the sand and watch.
