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 cliff-backed beach that narrows dramatically and can vanish beneath the tide at high water, revealing fine golden sand and exposed rock platforms (Las Tres Piedras) at low tide; access is via cliff stairs, so checking tide timing before descending matters. The cliffs shelter it from easterly winds, and it is used for surf practice and windsurfing. Nudism is permitted; dogs are banned in season. A lifeguard is present in summer.
