In context.
A semi-wild cove beach on the Vendée corniche, made up of sandy pockets between rocky outcrops that multiply at low tide, when a natural shallow pool forms, making the beach calmer and safer for families. Beach-break surfing is practised here in the off-season. High tide leaves only two small coves accessible and can produce dangerous wave rollers. Lifeguards are on duty in July and August, 11:00-19:00; dogs are banned 15 May-15 September.

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.
