Today's wind is cross-offshore at 6 kn. Light enough that the surface should stay workable for swimming.

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 gently sloping sandy Adriatic beach facing ENE, holding Blue Flag water quality. Low-to-moderate waves from Bora (NE) and Sirocco (SE) winds suit swimming, SUP, and wind sports more than surfing. In bathing season watercraft are banned from the swimming zone; kitesurfing is allowed only on free-beach stretches, entering by body-drag for the first 100m with a safety boat required. Lifeguard cover is provided. Tidal range is negligible; entry is easy.
