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 quiet, low-occupancy beach (roughly 250-500 m long, about 10 m wide) on the sheltered south shore of the Ria de Vigo, with calm, flat water and views across the estuary. Sand bottom with rocks protruding in places. Popular for anchoring small boats, it sits beside an industrial shipyard zone; a nudism zone is tolerated at one end. High tide narrows the beach considerably. A lifeguard service operates; access is adapted for reduced mobility.
