The models
Swell, wind and tides from the global models, updated four times a day for every spot.
The local read
Each forecaster knows which spot works with which swell and which wind on their coast. A model can't see that.
The check
They compare it with what our live cameras show, and adjust the forecast for the next days.
“Managing to forecast every stretch of our coast, with all the complexity that involves, and then confirming it on Lineup's cameras is very rewarding.”
