About this report
The Praia do Zavial surf report on howisthe.surf combines live cam footage, a multi-model wave forecast (ECMWF WAM, NCEP GFS WaveWatch III, and MeteoFrance MFWAM), wind and tide data, and the latest in-range buoy observation. The forecast is bias-corrected against recent paired observations so the wave height shown reflects measured accuracy at this region rather than a raw model average.
