SURFBOOKING FORECAST

Your beach's sea, read at each lesson's level

The regional forecast says one metre. Your beach, with the headland in front of it, has half. And the lesson was sold on the metre.

Proprietary calculation, beach by beach, across all of Portugal. Coast facing, swell, exposure, headland shadow and tide, read at each lesson's level and said in plain words.

HOW IT WORKS

Six steps.

  1. Per spot, never per region

    Official sources cross-referenced, then our own calculation on top: coast facing, exposure, the headland shadow read from terrain elevation, and the tide gate. The regional forecast says one metre; your beach may have half.

  2. Read at each lesson's level

    The same sea, three readings: beginner, intermediate and advanced, with kids apart. For each level it says whether it is ideal, works, is small or too big, and which tide phase that level prefers.

  3. Wave height in plain words

    “0.8 m · waist high”. Nobody books a lesson in metres; the scale runs from flat to double overhead and is the same on the site, in the app and in the school's panel.

  4. The best window of the day, over the bars

    Hour-by-hour bars from 7 to 20, the hours lessons happen, with the wave height written on each. Below them, wind and gusts in km/h and the direction it blows from. The best window of the day is written above the bars, the current hour is marked, and the technical detail adds the tide on the same clock.

  5. The sea at your lesson's hour

    On every lesson page, the forecast for the booked hour, judged for that lesson's level, refreshed daily. In the panel, the school sees lessons at risk before students reach the beach.

  6. Put to the test, not promised

    We store every hour's forecast and compare it with what was observed. We are redoing the measurement so it compares like with like, and only publish a number once it does.
