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.
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.
