Pirola Beach faces N, and that aspect decides whether the day's wind arrives clean off the water or broken up by the land — which matters more for kite surfing than the forecast speed alone.
Today's wind is offshore at 8 kn. Offshore is the one to be careful with for kite surfing — a failure blows you away from the beach, so it is a spot for a safety boat or a change of plan rather than a solo session.
Over the published window Pirola Beach clears 60/100 for kite surfing 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, 7 of 10 daylight hours clear that line at Intermediate.
Among the 29 scored spots within reach today, Pirola Beach ranks 8th for kite surfing. 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.
A golden-sand beach framed by limestone outcrops in a national park, with a shallow seabed for about 60 m from shore and a protected lagoon behind an island formation. Frequent NE Tramontana winds produce choppy-to-small waves suited to freeride and light wave riding rather than heavy surf. A 2026 ordinance sets six 30 m-wide public launch corridors for kite, windsurf, surf, SUP, and kayak, banning bathing inside them; no lifeguards patrol this stretch.
