In context.

A wide, flat, sandy Mediterranean beach, southeast-facing, used mainly by kitesurfers and windsurfers riding the consistent NW Tramontane wind; occasional surf comes from SE wind-swell, best with SE swell and NW offshore wind. Sandy beach break, no reef or rock hazards. A flag system marks kite/windsurf zones where swimming is risky. Nearby SNSM posts run late June/July to 30 August, 11:00-18:30; this quieter sector has no dedicated post.

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?

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.

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.
