More than “will it be sunny?”
The assessment combines air and sea temperature, waves, gusts, rain, UV and wind direction relative to each beach.
Safety: the score is a model-based estimate and does not replace lifeguards, flags, official warnings or the actual state of the sea. In an emergency call 112 or the Hellenic Coast Guard at 108.

How the score works
🌊 Waves & swell
Higher waves and longer periods carry more energy to shore. The model cannot identify every local rip current.
➤ Shore-relative wind
Wind is classified relative to the beach. Strong offshore wind can carry inflatables out, while strong onshore wind increases waves.
☀️ UV & heat
High UV reduces midday scores. Seek shade, stay hydrated and reapply sun protection frequently.
🌡️ Sea temperature
This is a modelled surface value and may differ near river mouths, shallow lagoons and after coastal upwelling.
⛈ Thunderstorms
Electrical activity makes swimming effectively unsuitable. Leave the water and exposed shore immediately.
🚩 Actual conditions
Flags, lifeguard instructions and official local notices always take priority over this service.

Limitations
Modelled coastal values have limited accuracy in small coves, rocky shores and lagoons. The score does not certify swimming safety and is not intended for navigation.
Each selection makes up to two data requests and is cached in the browser for 30 minutes.
