Hundestrand faces SE, tucked away from the prevailing westerly swell — the aspect that gives kayaking the flat, sheltered water it needs more often than an exposed coast would.
Today's wind is onshore at 11 kn. At that strength expect a textured surface for kayaking, and the shelter of the bay to matter more than the forecast number.
Over the published window Hundestrand clears 60/100 for kayaking at every ability from Beginner to Expert — an unusually broad spot, which normally means a range of conditions rather than one narrow sweet spot. Today, 10 of 10 daylight hours clear that line at Intermediate.
Among the 30 scored spots within reach today, Hundestrand ranks 10th for kayaking. The order changes by discipline: the same conditions that put a spot top for one sport can drop it down the list for another.
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.
This is an 80 m municipally designated dog-swim zone at the southern tip of a peninsula, within a wider free beach. The seabed is fine sand, gently sloping, very shallow — family- and pet-oriented. An inconsistent sandbar break produces small peaks on southeast swell. Water-quality concerns are noted. Dogs must be leashed (max 1.5 m) with vaccination proof; banned elsewhere on this stretch. A monitored bathing zone operates in season.
