Surf is the face height at the beach after the swell is filtered for the way Watersplash faces. Arrows point to where the swell and wind come from: an arrow pointing up means from the north. Amber marks the sessions worth setting an alarm for. From Wednesday the swell comes from Météo-France's 10-day model, which is coarser than the 5 km German model used close in. Hours no model reaches are left blank, not shown as flat.

Exposure

Watersplash faces west. Measured from the seabed, it is open to swell from SW round to NW; the brighter a wedge, the deeper the water in that direction and the more of the swell gets in. Anything from behind the headlands scores nothing, however big the buoy says it is.

How Watersplash works

Swell
Best from the south.
Wind
Offshore is from the north; anything with west in it is onshore and messes it up.
Tide
high tide.
