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 remote, foot-access-only beach on Tenerife's southwest coast, split into two coves by a rocky outcrop, with fine dark volcanic sand and scattered boulders. An underwater reef supports fish for snorkelling, best at low tide since high tide covers almost the whole beach, leaving only rocks. It lies within a protected scientific-interest site and a Natura 2000 marine conservation area. No lifeguards or facilities; undercurrents are a noted hazard.
