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 north-facing beach of fine black sand and pebbles, backed by cliffs and lava reef on Gran Canaria's north coast. Frequently exposed to strong waves and wind, with nearby reef sections producing left- and right-hand breaks for intermediate surfers and bodyboarders on north swell at low-to-mid tide; surfing on the main sand itself is not recommended. Danger flags are used. A seasonal lifeguard operated weekends only, 11:00-19:00, July-September.
