Cala Escorxada faces SW, open to the prevailing swell and wind. For paddleboarding that is the hard direction: expect the surface to be workable only when the forecast genuinely drops, not on an average day.
Today's wind is cross-onshore at 10 kn. At that strength expect a textured surface for paddleboarding, and the shelter of the bay to matter more than the forecast number.

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 remote, unspoiled cove on Menorca's south coast, reachable only by an hour-plus hike or by sea, enclosed by pine-forested cliffs within a protected natural area. The beach is fine white sand with rocky, weedy patches at the water's edge; the sheltered cove is calm with no surf break, suiting swimming and snorkelling rather than wave or wind sports. No facilities and no lifeguard. Nudism occurs informally. Tidal range is minimal.
