Cerritos surf guide

Santa Lucia de Los Cerritos, commonly called Cerritos, is located about 45 minutes north of Cabo San Lucas on the Pacific side of the Baja Peninsula, near Todos Santos. This spot offers a mix of surfing conditions and beach character, making it a decent option compared to nearby spots. While it might not reach the level of Pedrito, Cerritos has its share of fun waves that can attract a crowd, especially on weekends and holidays.

The surf here is pretty versatile, handling swells from 1.2 to 3 meters (4 to 10 feet). The optimal direction for swells is Northwest, but South swells also create some good A-frames, especially in the protected area behind the headland. For more exciting rides, head to the right that breaks off the north end during strong winter swells; it tends to collect all the fun when it connects with the sandbar. You'll find waves suitable for everyone, from beginners to more advanced surfers, depending on the swell size. Tides work well at low, mid, and high, with low tide making the waves steeper and faster. The beach usually has fun peaks spread out nicely, but watch out for a few beginner surfers around the popular spots.

Access is straightforward with parking right at the beach, and while it gets busy in the afternoons as surfers look to escape north winds, you can still find some waves to yourself early in the day. Just be aware that the local vibe includes a mix of Todos Santos and Cabo locals, so keep it friendly. Overall, Cerritos is a solid spot to check out if you’re looking for a variety of wave types, perfect for longboards, funboards, and any other board you might have in your quiver.

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"
