03 · Location

In context.

A compact 450 m sandy cove between two fortress headlands on an old-town peninsula, facing west. Sheltered by the headlands, water stays flat and calm in all but the biggest swell — not a surf break normally — though a rocky reef in the channel is slippery and exposed at low tide. Suits swimming, snorkelling and calm-water paddling, with local flat-water SUP/kite use out of season. Lifeguards cover 1 June-30 September, 11:00-19:00.

Is 4Shor for me?

If you surf, foil, paddleboard, swim or anything in between — and want to know exactly what the conditions will be like for you — then yes, 4Shor's for you. 🌊

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.

Is it really a free trial?

Yep. Both Premium and Pro come with a 7-day free trial. You get full access for 7 days, then decide if the sessions saved are worth the price of a post-surf burrito.

Absolutely. Whether you're chasing your first green wave or doing your first kitesurf body drag, 4Shor helps you choose the right place at the right time for your sport and ability. Think of it as a smart local who knows when it's mellow enough for learning and when it's time to sit on the sand and watch.
