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 small, sheltered east-facing bay with calm, largely wave-free water suited to swimming and paddleboarding rather than surf or kite sports. The seabed is mainly sandy, though sharp pebbles are reported in places, and rocks emerge at low tide. Access is free, with basic facilities, but swimming is unsupervised all season, and episodic bathing bans have followed water tests. Navigation is restricted on one side of the bay. Dogs banned 1 May-31 October.
