03 · Location

In context.

A volcanic lava reef break on Tenerife's west coast, with left- and right-breaking sections, producing a short, powerful, hollow wave with northwest-to-west swell and offshore east wind. The reef is shallow, dangerous at low tide; mid-tide gives the best-formed waves, high tide reduces power. Suited to intermediate-to-advanced surfers and bodyboarders, not beginners. Nearby waters are a Special Area of Conservation. No lifeguard cover documented.

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.
