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.

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.
An urban sandy beach roughly 500 m long, with a gentle slope into calm water and a coarser, stonier sand texture than beaches further north. No reef or rock break; windsurfing is common, and occasional swell can reach this sand-bottom shore, though the character is calm. Scuba diving is also practised. A leashed dog zone sits near the rocks; dogs are otherwise banned 1 April-15 October. Lifeguards cover 7 June-14 September, 10:00-20:00, from two posts.
