03 · Location

In context.

A remote, south-facing beach enclosed by limestone cliffs, with a stream cutting through dunes to a river-mouth break giving left and right-hand waves. Dangerous rip currents form at the river mouth, especially at high tide, when much of the beach floods, cutting off crossing between its two ends. Swimming and watersports are advised against at all times. RNLI lifeguards patrol seasonally in summer. No car park; a 15-30 minute walk in.

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