Praia de San Pedro faces N. Which swells reach it — and therefore whether there is anything worth riding — depends on that aspect more than on the open-ocean forecast height.

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 compact (260-280 m), semi-urban, north-facing sandy cove in a sheltered bay, with calm flat water. Surf is not practicable here, but the setting suits family swimming, sailing, diving and calm-water paddling; mussel-farming rafts are visible offshore. Nudism is not permitted. Municipal lifeguards cover the beach in summer, backed by the regional SAPRAGA rescue plan (1 June-30 September). Tidal range is significant and beach width varies with the tide.
