Burwood Beach surf guide

Burwood Beach is a spot that offers a mix of beach breaks and a righthand point known as Leggies. It’s a bit of a more recreational area compared to some other more famous surf spots. The beach stretches out, giving plenty of space to spread out, especially if you head further down the shore where it’s usually quieter. The locals are around, and they can be pretty serious about their surf, especially when the conditions are right.

This beach really shines with swells coming from the NorthEast, but it can also manage swells from the South. The waves are best for intermediate surfers and can vary between 2ft (about 0.6m) and larger, depending on the swell. The waves break over uneven reef and sand, offering both left and right options for riding. If you're looking for the best conditions, try to hit it when the wind is blowing from the NorthWest and the tide is at low, mid, or high levels. Just be ready to share the lineup, especially when the rights are firing.

Beyond the surf, the beach has a casual vibe, but it helps to know your way around and be respectful of the locals. Since it can get a bit crowded at times, especially when conditions are ideal, it's a good idea to be patient. Always remember to check the surf forecast before heading out to make the most of your session.

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"
