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 sheltered, south-facing family beach of fine sand in a rocky cove, facing an offshore island and typically calm and wind-protected, suited to flat-water kayaking, SUP and family swimming rather than surf, kite or windsurf. Rocks line the cove edges. Lifeguard cover operates July-August, 13:00-19:00. Dogs are banned mid-June to mid-September. Tidal range is significant: high tide suits swimming, low tide shallows the bay considerably.
