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 long, open, sandy Mediterranean beach near a river mouth, lower-density and more natural than the beach to its north, exposed to wind and moderate swell rather than calm water. The sandbar break can produce rideable waves, especially on winter NE swells, with strong rip currents. A kitesurf zone operates here, though kiting is banned weekends in July and August across the wider area. Lifeguard cover runs daily late June-mid-September, 10:00-18:00.
