Chapel Porth surf guide

Chapel Porth is a surf spot located in Cornwall, UK, known for its beautiful scenery and laid-back vibe. It's a small beach that can get quite busy during the season, especially on sunny days. The beach does disappear at high tide, so timing your surf session is key. There’s a small National Trust car park available nearby for easy access.

The surf here is predominantly a beach break that handles swell sizes starting from 2ft (about 0.6 meters) and up. The optimal swell direction is from the west, but it also picks up swells from the southwest and northwest. You can expect both left and right waves, making it suitable for different riding styles. The best conditions usually occur during low to mid tide with a preferred wind from the southeast. This spot can produce some fast, hollow waves, but it's important to check the conditions beforehand as it can vary.

Chapel Porth can be a fun spot for all skill levels, but keep in mind that it may not always deliver the best waves, so managing your expectations is a good idea. Also, since the beach is sandy, it can be more forgiving when it comes to wipeouts. Overall, it's a solid spot worth checking out if you're in the area.

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

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"

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.
