03 · Location

In context.

A remote, 4-mile SW-facing Atlantic beach on the southern Llŷn Peninsula, one of Wales' leading surf breaks and popular with kitesurfers and windsurfers. Mixed sand and pebble, with a rocky southern corner producing a wedgy left-hander over rock and a right-hander to the north; sandbars shift beneath well-defined banks. There is no lifeguard cover, and rip currents form, intensifying when surf is larger. Around 30 shipwrecks are recorded here.

Can 4Shor provide more accurate forecasts than my existing app?
