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 quiet, sheltered sand beach on the calm Bassin d'Arcachon side of Cap Ferret, protected from Atlantic swell — flat water for family bathing, paddleboarding and kayaking rather than surf. The sandy bottom slopes gently, no rock hazards. Sandbanks are exposed at low tide, so swimming is best near high tide. No lifeguard covers this beach; supervised bathing is offered only at three ocean beaches nearby. Baïne rip currents are a hazard in the bay.
