Praia de Broña faces SW, open to the prevailing swell and wind. For canoeing that is the hard direction: expect the surface to be workable only when the forecast genuinely drops, not on an average day.
Today's wind is offshore at 9 kn. Blowing off the land keeps the surface flatter near the beach for canoeing, but it also pushes you out — stay inside where you can comfortably get back.

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, 475 m sandy beach of white sand with rock elements on the inner shore of a ria, surrounded by woodland and dune vegetation and sitting within a Natura 2000 protected area. Waters are calm, shallow, and largely current-free, protected from Atlantic swell, making it suited to swimming and scuba diving rather than surfing or kitesurfing. Summer daytime lifeguard cover is provided.
