## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a local, insider surf assessment for Mediterranean locations rather than generic global forecast data. Ideal when the user wants a qualitative, human-like verdict ('is it worth going?') rather than raw meteorological data. Best for discovering and evaluating secret or lesser-known Mediterranean surf spots that may not appear in mainstream forecast services.

## Known failure modes

- Location not recognized or outside Mediterranean coverage area — returns error or empty verdict
- Service unavailable or Vercel deployment offline — HTTP 500 or timeout
- Payment of $0.01 USDC not completed — x402 payment required error
- Ambiguous or malformed query — unclear or generic response
- Rate limiting if too many requests in quick succession
