Cala Gració faces W, open to the prevailing westerlies, so the wind arrives off the water rather than filtered through the land — the clean, steady flow windsurfing wants, and the reason gusts here are sea breezes rather than land turbulence.
Today's wind is cross-onshore at 9 kn. Leaning onshore, which is the forgiving side for windsurfing: you can hold a line along the beach and anything that goes wrong still drifts you in.
Over the published window Cala Gració clears 60/100 for windsurfing at every ability from Beginner to Expert — an unusually broad spot, which normally means a range of conditions rather than one narrow sweet spot. Today, 7 of 10 daylight hours clear that line at Intermediate.
Among the 31 scored spots within reach today, Cala Gració ranks 4th for windsurfing. The order changes by discipline: the same conditions that put a spot top for one sport can drop it down the list for another.
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 (50 m), sheltered, west-facing horseshoe cove of fine golden sand, with a gentle slope and rocky outcrops on both flanks offering snorkelling habitat. Fully protected from swell and currents, the bay holds calm, flat water rather than a surf break, suited to swimming, snorkelling, and paddleboarding rather than surfing or wind sports. Lifeguards are present in summer, providing disabled-access water entry with an amphibious wheelchair.
