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 sheltered, ENE-facing sandy beach below Tenby's town walls, with sand and rock outcrops including Goskar Rock, walkable only at low tide and covered at high tide. Sheltered from the dominant SW Atlantic swell, it suits swimming, SUP, and calm-water paddling more than surfing. RNLI lifeguards patrol daily from around 17 June to early September, 10:00-18:00. Tidal range is large, roughly 7.5 m locally. Dogs banned 1 May-30 September.
