In context.

A remote, ~2.5-mile sandy beach break on the Bristol Channel, WSW-facing and backed by dunes, used for surfing, kitesurfing, and windsurfing. Privately owned by Tata Steel beside Port Talbot's steelworks, it stays accessible via footpaths, though the northern end is off-limits from submerged structures and a wreck. No lifeguard cover; nearest RNLI station is Port Talbot. Tidal range is large, with strong currents and rip risk on a rising tide.

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.

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?
