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 1.3–2.5 km — UK Met Office UKV, Météo-France AROME HD and AROME, 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.
This is a wide, sheltered sandy bay enclosed by cliffs and a hill, with clear water shelving steeply from shore. Sand lies close to the beach, with rock formations in deeper water and at the cove's ends offering snorkelling. Calm to lightly choppy rather than surf or kite terrain, though windsurf hire is available. Non-smoking, with a demarcated swimming zone in high season. Lifeguards operate seasonally; the steep slope is a caution for young children.
