Teignmouth Beach faces SE, so the prevailing westerly comes over the land before it reaches you. For kite surfing that usually means a gustier, less predictable flow than the raw wind speed suggests.
Today's wind is cross-onshore at 10 kn. Leaning onshore, which is the forgiving side for kite surfing: you can hold a line along the beach and anything that goes wrong still drifts you in.

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 long sandy, SE-facing beach at the mouth of the Teign Estuary, popular with families, kayakers and paddleboarders. Surf is rare, needing a SW groundswell or E windswell, with best banks near the pier, favouring winter. Hazards include groynes, shore dump at high tide, and possible sewage after heavy rain. RNLI lifeguards patrol late May to early September, 10am-6pm. Watercraft keep clear of the shore-side bathing zone via a marked access lane.
