03 · Location

In context.

A sheltered, horseshoe-shaped sandy cove with rock sections, offering a beach-and-point break with lefts and rights; a low-tide right-hander develops off rocks at the north end. Hazards include submerged rocks, strong undercurrents, and large shore breaks, most consistent in winter. A marked boating lane excludes swimming; inflatables are discouraged in windy conditions. RNLI lifeguards patrol seasonally, May-September. Dogs banned 1 May-30 September.

If you surf, foil, paddleboard, swim or anything in between — and want to know exactly what the conditions will be like for you — then yes, 4Shor's for you. 🌊

Can 4Shor provide more accurate forecasts than my existing app?

Current forecast apps only provide swell, wind and tide data and in many cases expect you to do the analysis yourself. 4Shor goes the extra mile — we model how waves will break and build that into our forecasts to allow us to create conditions scores for your chosen water sport and skill level – something that no other app does.
