Playa la Ventilla faces SE, tucked away from the prevailing westerly swell — the aspect that gives paddleboarding the flat, sheltered water it needs more often than an exposed coast would.

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 semi-urban Mediterranean beach of coarse sand and gravel, backed by a protected palm grove, on a designated Posidonia seagrass conservation site. Entry is calm and gradual; the ESE-facing shore catches levante wind and swell, favouring flatwater or light-wind sports in westerly weather and windsurfing or wavesports when levante blows. Non-nudist. Municipal lifeguards cover the beach, confirmed 10:30-20:30 in July/August; tidal range is negligible.
