03 · Location

In context.

A long (1,800 m) sheltered estuary beach, NNE-facing, with a sand-and-rock bottom, suited to flatwater sports such as windsurfing and paddle surf. Surf is very rare, needing a strong winter swell to produce an occasional left-hand wave. Nudism is prohibited; watersports are confined to zones within 100 m of the bathing area, with powered craft banned in season. Lifeguards operate through summer.

Can 4Shor provide more accurate forecasts than my existing app?
