Lyme Regis Beach faces SE, tucked away from the prevailing westerly swell — the aspect that gives e-foiling the flat, sheltered water it needs more often than an exposed coast would.
Today's wind is cross-shore at 6 kn. Light enough that the surface should stay workable for e-foiling.

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, sand-and-shingle town beach behind a historic harbour wall on a south-southeast-facing bay, offering calm-water swimming and a modest beach break with rolling waves at low tide in southwest swell, becoming short and dumpy on shingle at high tide. RNLI lifeguards patrol seasonally, with year-round lifeboat cover. A significant tidal range reshapes the beach, and swimming near the harbour mouth is dangerous at all states due to vessel traffic.
