Playa Del Portio faces SW, open to the prevailing swell and wind. For e-foiling 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 onshore at 3 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 small, enclosed cove in a coastal natural park, hemmed in by rock formations and cliffs, with a rocky, sculpted seabed and patches of golden sand. Rocks at the inlet entrance reduce wave size, suiting swimming, diving, and fishing rather than surfing; strong currents are present. Dogs, camping, and surfing are banned to preserve its natural character. Cruz Roja lifeguard cover runs weekends and holidays only, 11:30-19:30.
