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.
The longest beach in a protected regional park — about 700 m of fine golden sand backed by mobile dunes, with no built infrastructure. A beach break with moderate wave action, the wider park draws surfers, kitesurfers and windsurfers, and the gently sloping sandy bottom gives easy entry. Vehicle access is banned June–September (shuttle only), dogs are excluded through the nesting season to 30 September, and it alone in the park has a summer lifeguard.
