Playa Punta Lejos faces W, open to the prevailing westerlies, so the wind arrives off the water rather than filtered through the land — the clean, steady flow wing foiling wants, and the reason gusts here are sea breezes rather than land turbulence.
Today's wind is onshore at 8 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.
A wild, unpatrolled Atlantic beach break on a dune-backed stretch, with a right sandbank producing faster, hollower waves in offshore easterly winds and capable of holding bigger swell than nearby town beaches — suited to experienced surfers. Access on foot is difficult across this protected natural area. There is no lifeguard cover here (nearest patrolled beaches are to the north).
