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.
An artificial, fine-sand family beach built in the 1970s from reclaimed coves, gently shelving into a sheltered, south-facing bay — calm, flat water for swimming rather than surf or wind sports. It sits west of a dedicated watersports cove where swimming is banned and kitesurf, windfoil, catamaran, kayak and SUP run instead. Nudism is prohibited; dogs are banned from the sand June–August. Lifeguard posts operate daily 10:00–19:00 in summer.
