Tides and currents use the Météo-France global ocean model via Open-Meteo at roughly 8 km resolution. Sea level includes tide and atmospheric effects and is referenced to global mean sea level, not a local chart datum. Coastal accuracy is limited; never use this for navigation.

The break
Reef break
Community-mapped location. Break direction, skill level and ideal swell are awaiting local calibration.
Timing
Dawn patrol
Usually the cleanest wind window. Re-check local observations before you paddle out.
Data note
Fallback preview
Wave guidance, tide phase and offshore currents are modelled unless a nearby buoy observation is shown.
