Platja de l'Estany Podrit faces SE, so the prevailing westerly comes over the land before it reaches you. For windsurfing that usually means a gustier, less predictable flow than the raw wind speed suggests.
Today's wind is offshore at 12 kn. Offshore is the one to be careful with for windsurfing — a failure blows you away from the beach, so it is a spot for a safety boat or a change of plan rather than a solo session.

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 tiny, undeveloped SSE-facing cove of mixed golden sand and pebbles, framed by pines and Mediterranean scrub on the GR-92 coastal trail. Water is calm, suited to snorkelling, fishing and quiet swimming rather than watersports, though moderate swell has been noted; rocky surrounds attract snorkellers and anglers. Facilities are limited to a shower, and no lifeguard service is documented. Tidal range is negligible and entry is straightforward.
