In context.
This is a small, informal volcanic-rock cove on the sheltered flank of a marina, within a protected coastal nature reserve. There are no facilities and no lifeguard cover. The bottom is rocky, with sandy patches further out, and the setting suits calm-water snorkelling, diving and kayaking rather than surfing or kitesurfing. Submerged rocks are the main hazard. Spear fishing is banned throughout the reserve; line fishing only is permitted.

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