In context.
This is a small, sheltered sandy cove, National Trust managed, with fine-grained sand that squeaks underfoot. It's a fairly exposed, inconsistent beach break with left and right waves, suited to surfing, bodyboarding, and kayaking, best in winter and early spring on a SW swell with SE offshore wind. Submerged rocks sit in the water and strong rips are present; surfing is best at high tide. There is no lifeguard service; take extra care before entering.

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.

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.
