Silgar faces S. Which swells reach it — and therefore whether there is anything worth riding — depends on that aspect more than on the open-ocean forecast height.
Today's wind is cross-offshore at 6 kn. Leaning offshore, so the face should still stand up clean for surfing — not the glassy hold of a straight offshore, but the right side of neutral.
Over the published window Silgar clears 60/100 for surfing at Beginner, Intermediate levels — that is who this spot is for on this sport. Today, 0 of 11 daylight hours clear that line at Intermediate.

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 broad, flat, fine-sand bay facing south into a sheltered inner ria, lined by a promenade. Protected from Atlantic swell, it stays essentially flat, suiting swimming and flatwater paddling over surfing. A municipal ordinance requires council authorisation for surfing, windsurfing, kitesurfing and paddle surfing, confined to designated summer areas; bather zones are buoy-marked. Lifeguards cover June-September, 12:00-20:00. Tides narrow it at high water.
