03 · Location

In context.

A sand-bottom beach on Tenerife's windswept southeast coast. It is a fairly exposed beach break with left- and right-hand waves, inconsistent surf, northeast groundswells, and best offshore wind from the south-southwest. The area is one of Tenerife's windiest zones. Currents are generally not strong, but gusty conditions call for caution. At low tide the beach widens considerably. Unsupervised, with no lifeguard service.

If you surf, foil, paddleboard, swim or anything in between — and want to know exactly what the conditions will be like for you — then yes, 4Shor's for you. 🌊

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.
