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 small, sheltered volcanic-sand bay in a fishing village on Gran Canaria's northwest coast is protected from trade winds and holds Blue Flag status. Clear, calm water suits snorkelling and diving, with caves and reef life including angel sharks and seahorses; not a surf, kite or windsurf spot. It lies within a Natura 2000 zone. Rescue cover is a Blue Flag requirement; a stone jetty gives access, with tidal pools at low tide.
