An estimate for beach hours, based on the wave and wind forecast and the orientation of each beach. It is not a measurement at the beach and not a safety guarantee — always judge conditions on site. Wave height is the open-sea forecast near the beach; the status (calm/wavy) accounts for how sheltered the cove is.
