Fontane Bianche Beach 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 onshore at 10 kn. Onshore is the awkward one for surfing: it adds chop and pushes the wave over before it can stand up.
Across the published window Fontane Bianche Beach does not clear 60/100 for surfing at any ability — it peaks at 46/100, 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, Fontane Bianche Beach ranks 6th 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 sheltered, southeast-facing beach of fine white sand near Syracuse, about 1-1.5km long, with clear turquoise water fed by seabed freshwater springs. The sandy bottom shelves gently with no reef hazards; waves rarely exceed 1m, suiting swimming, snorkelling and flat-water paddling. Free stretches sit beside paid lido sections; dogs and nudism are not permitted. Lifeguards cover the lido sections in summer. Tides are negligible.
