Beacons surf guide

Beacons is a well-known surf spot located on the coast, popular among locals and visitors alike. It’s often considered a good place for surfers who are looking for a bit of excitement. The wave here can be powerful and challenging, drawing those who are ready to take it on. While it might not be the best spot for everyone, many find it has its moments worth checking out.

The surf at Beacons typically works best with a SouthWest swell and can handle sizes of around 2 to 6 feet (approximately 0.6 to 1.8 meters). When the swell comes from the SE, you can expect peaks that tend to close out right on the coral sections of the reef. The wave breaks right, offering tubes that can be quite intense, especially on a low tide. It's more suited for intermediate surfers, as the shallow reef can be unforgiving and the waves require some skill to navigate properly.

For the best conditions, look for a North wind, which tends to clean up the surface nicely. Tides can vary here, as Beacons works with low, mid, and high tide, providing a bit of flexibility depending on the day. Just keep in mind that confidence and experience will come in handy, as the waves can pack a punch on their best days.

Wind certainty

Wind certainty tells you how much the weather models agree on the forecast.

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

We calculate this by comparing wind speed, gust and direction from multiple models (like GFS, ECMWF, Arome, and Harmonie) and seeing how closely they match. They are weighted, meaning that some models count more than others, depending on how good they are for a certain spot.

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.

Log your surf sessions to compare forecasts with real sessions and sharpen future predictions.

On the map, click a metric label to bring that arrow to the front — handy when arrows overlap.

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.

With Surfnerd, no more "you should have been here yesterday"
