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 sheltered white-sand cove on Fuerteventura's north coast, ringed by lava headlands blocking swell, reached only by dirt track, with no facilities or lifeguard. A reef break fronts the cove, sand and gravel near shore, giving left- and right-hand waves used by surf schools for beginner surfing, with calmer water worked by paddleboarders too. Best at high to mid tide, as the reef turns shallow at low water. Listed among the island's naturist beaches.
