In context.

A small, 400-500 m sandy beach on the Mediterranean side of La Manga del Mar Menor, with calm, clear water and a busy summer season. A sailing school and equipment hire operate on-site. The sandy bottom has no surf break or reef, suiting swimming and calm-water sports such as windsurfing over wave-riding. Facing ESE, it is generally calm but can be affected by easterly Levante winds. Summer lifeguard cover applies to this La Manga stretch.

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.
