In context.
A sheltered, sandy beach at a harbour mouth with a designated watersports zone, calm enough for swimming and paddling alongside beginner-to-intermediate windsurfing and kitesurfing. The seabed shelves gently with sand bars giving flat water at low tide and small beach-break waves from mid-to-high tide on SW swell. Submerged sandbars are a fin-snapping hazard at low tide. RNLI lifeguards patrol from mid-July; dogs are banned 1 May to 30 September.

Can 4Shor provide more accurate forecasts than my existing app?
Current forecast apps only provide swell, wind and tide data and in many cases expect you to do the analysis yourself. 4Shor goes the extra mile — we model how waves will break and build that into our forecasts to allow us to create conditions scores for your chosen water sport and skill level – something that no other app does.
What's the science behind 4Shor?
4Shor uses ShorSense™ — our coastal intelligence engine that combines satellite-derived bathymetry (fancy word for underwater mapping), advanced wave models with wind and tide data to generate precision, hyper-local forecasts.
