Bagni Paolina Beach faces S. Which swells reach it — and therefore whether there is anything worth riding — depends on that aspect more than on the open-ocean forecast height.
Today's wind is cross-shore at 8 kn. Straight cross-shore sits between the two for surfing — the face stays rideable but the wall is less organised than on a clean offshore.
Over the published window Bagni Paolina Beach clears 60/100 for surfing at every ability from Beginner to Expert — an unusually broad spot, which normally means a range of conditions rather than one narrow sweet spot. Today, 11 of 11 daylight hours clear that line at Intermediate.
Among the 31 scored spots within reach today, Bagni Paolina Beach ranks 3rd for surfing. The order changes by discipline: the same conditions that put a spot top for one sport can drop it down the list for another.
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 small family-run private lido on a mixed pebble-sand shore, near a jetty where a local A-frame point break forms: a left running fast into the pebbly beach and a more consistent right that varies with swell and wind. The lido frontage is calmer, suited to swimming and paddleboarding rather than the jetty break. A 300 m swimmer-priority zone bars windsurf, kitesurf, and wave-propelled surfboards in season, 08:30-19:30. Lifeguard cover is required by law.
