Pelican Beach Park Surf Forecast Gids

Pelican Beach Park is a surfing spot located in Satellite Beach, Brevard County. It's known for being one of the more consistent breaks in the area, especially when there's some swell. This beach has a public access point and a large parking lot, making it easy for surfers to get in the water without too much hassle. Overall, the vibe here is pretty chill, and while it can get crowded when conditions are good, there are plenty of times when you can find lots of space to catch some waves.

The surf at Pelican Beach Park can handle a range of swell sizes from about 2 feet (0.6 meters) up to 10 feet (3 meters). The waves generally break over sand and some coquina rocks, and you can find both right and left waves here. The best conditions usually come with low to mid tide, and the preferred wind directions are from the south and south-southwest. If you're an intermediate to expert surfer, you’ll probably find some sections that allow you to work on your moves or just enjoy a good ride. Expect relatively open-faced waves that can give you a chance to make some turns and get a little playful with your board.

When it comes to equipment, Pelican Beach Park can accommodate various board types, including shortboards, funboards, longboards, and even bodyboards. The seasons are most favorable in spring and autumn, but there's also potential for good swells during winter. Just keep an eye out for the occasional big fish that might cruise near the rocks. Overall, you'll find a decent spot to surf with a good mix of accessibility and wave options.

Confidence

Confidence tells you how much the weather models agree on the forecast.

  • High confidence: Models agree closely; forecast is reliable.
  • Medium confidence: Some disagreement; conditions may shift slightly.
  • Low confidence: Models diverge; treat forecast with caution.

We calculate the wind confidence by comparing wind speed, gust and direction from multiple models (like GFS, ECMWF, Arome, and Harmonie) and seeing how closely they match. For wave certainty we compare height, period and direction, also on multiple models. They are weighted, meaning that some models count more than others, depending on how good they are for a certain spot.

Readme

Welcome! If you’re new to surf forecasting, check out this quick guide.

Forecast Table

The forecast table (the section on the page with all the numbers) is designed to pack as much information in the screen as possible. Although intimidating at first, it will help you make informed decisions about the waves faster, trust me :D. The table consists of roughly four sections, time and predictions, wind, waves, and tides:

🔮 Time and predictions section

Here we show the forecast thour and the overall surf quality prediction. This is determined based on the wave, wind and tide quality prediction. These individual predictions can be found on the forecast map.

💨 Wind section

The first row on the table (with the 💨 icon) shows wind speed, direction and gust. The more the wind speed the more aggressive the color (from blue, green, orange to red).

🌊 Wave section

The waves section consists of three rows, one for wave height and direction, one for period and one for wave energy. Our algorithm chooses the "dominant wave" using spot-adjusted surf energy (depth + directional fit). This is usually the first swell partition, but during local storms it can switch to wind waves. If that happens, values are shown in gray and italic.

🌒 Tide section

The tide section consists of a row with the actual heights per hour (measured at the half hour) and a table that displays the flow of the tide and the extremes (lows and highs).

Forecast map

The forecast map consists of arrows. These arrows represent all wave partitions (swell partitions and wind wave partition) and the wind. This allows you to see things like: a secondary swell or wind waves messes up the surf, or the wind is just a tick offshore so very surfable. Click a metric label in the bottom left to bring that arrow to the front — handy when arrows overlap.

Forecast Cheat Sheet

Short on time? Focus on wave energy. It’s the best single metric to gauge how big and powerful the waves will be.

Click any table cell to jump to that forecast hour. The map will update with forecast arrows, so you can see if wind and swell direction are lining up.

Use the table sidebar to switch units for height and speed.

Models and Updates

Surfnerd blends multiple global and local wind and swell models using advanced interpolation and spatial techniques to create an "ensemble" forecast. Forecasts are refreshed hourly.

Surf Predictions

Our AI-driven algorithm scores surf quality, shown by green, orange, and gray dots. Each forecast hour is rated for wind, swell, and tide quality, then combined into an overall score. Here’s the scale:

Perfect
Good
Average
Bad or No Data

Session logs also feed the algorithm — the more you log, the smarter your forecasts get.
