Platja de Cavalleria faces NW, straight into the prevailing Atlantic swell window — the reason it has waves at all, and the reason it is rarely flat.
Today's wind is cross-shore at 10 kn. Straight cross-shore sits between the two for surfing — the face stays rideable but the wall is less organised than on a clean offshore.
Across the published window Platja de Cavalleria does not clear 60/100 for surfing at any ability — it peaks at 58/100, so this is a spot to watch rather than commit to right now. Today, 0 of 11 daylight hours clear that line at Intermediate.
Among the 29 scored spots within reach today, Platja de Cavalleria ranks 15th 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 largely undeveloped, roughly 500 m stretch of reddish-gold sand below 80 m cliffs on Menorca's northernmost coast, within the North Menorca Marine Reserve. A reef splits the bay into a sandier eastern half and rockier western half. Fully exposed to northerly wind, the shore gets wind-chop rather than surf-quality waves; snorkelling near a rock feature is noted. Beach bars and spearfishing are prohibited, and a lifeguard is present in season.
