Holland on Sea faces SE, so the prevailing westerly comes over the land before it reaches you. For wing foiling that usually means a gustier, less predictable flow than the raw wind speed suggests.
Today's wind is onshore at 7 kn. Onshore is the safest direction for wing foiling here — anything that goes wrong drifts you back to the beach — at the cost of a choppier surface.

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.
This is a quiet, unspoilt sandy beach backed by a seawall and promenade with beach huts and cafes, with a country park SSSI at its northern end. Sand is coarse and grainy with stones near the waterline, and man-made rocky outcrops from sea-defence works sit near the water. The shore receives limited swell, mostly wind-driven chop, suiting flat-water kayaking and small-boat activity rather than surfing. There is no lifeguard service on this beach.
