Platja de Sant Tomàs faces SW, open to the prevailing westerlies, so the wind arrives off the water rather than filtered through the land — the clean, steady flow kite foiling wants, and the reason gusts here are sea breezes rather than land turbulence.
Today's wind is cross-onshore at 9 kn. Leaning onshore, which is the forgiving side for kite foiling: you can hold a line along the beach and anything that goes wrong still drifts you in.
Over the published window Platja de Sant Tomàs clears 60/100 for kite foiling 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, 5 of 11 daylight hours clear that line at Intermediate.

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 large, popular beach of fine white carbonate sand facing SSW, gently shelving with rocky patches at the eastern breakwater and margins. Under light southerly thermals the water is flat to slightly choppy, suiting flatwater wind and kite sports; strong W to WNW winds build powerful, mast-high waves. A rocky ledge downwind to the west is a hazard, requiring early exit in strong westerlies. Nudism accepted at the western fringe; lifeguards operate summer.
