03 · Location

In context.

A 1.6 km golden-sand beach at the southern tip of La Manga del Mar Menor, open east and exposed to Levante swell, livelier than the sheltered lagoon side. Wave energy is moderate to strong under Levante, otherwise calm; the sandy bottom has no rock hazards, suiting bathing and beginner watersports rather than surfing. A channel at the north end, used by canoeists, can carry current when open. It sits beside protected wetlands.

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.
