1. Forecast and beach are assessed separately
The system assesses wind, gusts, shore waves, temperature and rain, then combines them with access, services and each beach's comfort.
Methodology
How Qué Playa Almería works
The goal is not to show generic weather. The site turns today's conditions into a clear decision: which beach to choose, which are acceptable and which are best avoided.
2. Each plan weighs conditions differently
Swimming prioritises calmer shore waves and moderate wind; walking prioritises wind and rain; family plans prioritise calmer sea, access and services.
3. Wind and waves are adjusted by exposure
An open beach and a tucked-in bay do not feel the same, even when the raw forecast is similar.
4. Real beach safety comes first
The recommendation is advisory. The flag, lifeguards and real sea state always have priority.

If all beaches look poor, the system does not force a recommendation. It says there is no clearly comfortable beach and keeps the list available for comparison.
