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 wide, flat, fine-sand beach on the Normandy coast facing the Channel, with a river mouth nearby causing localised currents. Very shallow at low tide with hazardous sandbars and holes; deeper water at high tide suits kitefoil, while the falling tide gives small waves for kite and windsurfing. A kite zone sits near the car park; a sailing school operates here. Lifeguards patrol marked swimming zones daily, 2 July-31 August, 11:30-18:15 only.
