North Landing faces N. For kayaking how much swell and wind that aspect keeps out matters more than the open-water forecast.
Today's wind is cross-shore at 12 kn. At that strength expect a textured surface for kayaking, and the shelter of the bay to matter more than the forecast number.

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 chalk-cliff cove with a mix of sand and pebbles, its seabed rocky and kelp-covered with rock pools at low tide. Mainly used for kayaking, paddleboarding and coarse fishing rather than surfing. Swimming is not advised - no lifeguard cover or watersports zoning - and part of the site sits within a no-take marine conservation zone. A large tidal range brings a cut-off hazard on the cove's western side, needing RNLI and coastguard rescues.
