Cala Llobeta faces SE, away from the prevailing Atlantic swell. For surfing that means it needs a specific direction to work rather than picking up the everyday groundswell, so it is a spot to check rather than assume.
Today's wind is offshore at 12 kn. That is the direction you want for surfing — it holds the face up and clean instead of crumbling it.
Across the published window Cala Llobeta does not clear 60/100 for surfing at any ability — it peaks at 56/100, so this is a spot to watch rather than commit to right now. Today, 0 of 10 daylight hours clear that line at Intermediate.
Among the 31 scored spots within reach today, Cala Llobeta ranks 29th 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 tiny, secluded Mediterranean cove tucked within the Calafat urbanisation, with clear turquoise water sheltered by rocky cliffs and facing ESE. The shoreline is coarse sand mixed with small stones, and the seabed is rocky with a gentle entry slope, hosting over 700 recorded marine species — favoured for snorkelling and beginner scuba diving rather than surf or wind sports. No lifeguard service is present, and dogs are prohibited on the beach.
