AURA Beach Advisor
Beach weather in Sardinia, made simple
Beach weather is more than 'sunny and 28°'. What matters is the wind direction relative to the coast, the wave height and how exposed the beach is. AURA brings these together into one clear advice per beach, so you don't have to read a marine forecast yourself.
What 'beach weather' really means
A sunny day with strong onshore wind means cold water in your face, sand in your towel and waves that are hard to swim in. A grey morning with offshore wind can give you a glassy sea. AURA reads both atmospheric and marine forecasts and translates them into a recommendation that matches how the day will actually feel.
How AURA reads the forecast
We use professional weather and marine APIs (wind, gusts, wave height, water temperature, weather code) and combine them with each beach's geography. The result is an hourly score and a short reason — for example 'sheltered from mistral, calm sea' or 'choppy from sirocco'.
Morning vs afternoon
In Sardinia the wind often changes during the day, especially in summer. AURA shows the score for the morning and the afternoon separately, so you can plan whether to go early, after lunch, or skip the beach today.
Use it to plan, not to predict the future
AURA is a forecast-based beach advisor, not a real-time webcam. It is designed to help you decide where to go before you leave. Once you arrive, your eyes are the final judge.
FAQ
Where does AURA get its weather data?
From Open-Meteo's weather and marine forecast APIs, refreshed regularly throughout the day.
Why do beaches near each other have different scores?
Because they face different directions. A bay open to the north reacts to wind very differently from a bay facing south, even if they're only a few kilometres apart.
