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 remote, sweeping arc of white sand within a protected ASSI, backed by chalk cliffs, with a sandy-bottom beach break giving lefts and rights that works at all tide stages and is strongest in winter. No lifeguard service is provided; the nearest patrolled beach is some distance away. Rip currents are present regardless of tide, and swimming is explicitly flagged as unsafe. The headland toward the neighbouring cove can only be crossed safely at low tide.
