Platja Sa Mesquida faces E, 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 7 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 semi-wild, largely undeveloped beach facing east-southeast, with a sandy main shore and a rocky secondary cove of small flat stones. The sandy seabed mixes rock and protected posidonia meadows, good for snorkelling; a buoyed zone is set aside for paddle-surf and kayaking. Generally calm in prevailing winds but can produce short-period chop or surf under easterly swells. Nudism is practised on the cliff-side section. Lifeguard cover operates in summer.
