Cloudbreak - Mamanucas surf guide

Cloudbreak, located in the Mamanucas, Fiji, is one of the most talked-about surf spots in the world. This legendary reef pass was once only accessible to surfers paying high daily rates at the Tavarua Island surf resort, but recent changes in the law have opened it up for more surfers to experience. With stunning scenery and the thrill of the waves, Cloudbreak attracts surfers looking for a challenging session.

The waves here can be pretty intense. Cloudbreak works best with a south-west swell and can handle swell sizes starting from about 3 feet (0.9 meters) up to much larger heights. It features a left-breaking reef wave that can be really powerful. The wave breaks over live coral, so it’s crucial to be aware of that. The best wind direction is southeast, which helps make the conditions a bit cleaner. Surfers should aim for low, mid, or high tide for optimal sessions. However, this is not a spot for beginners; it's more suited for expert surfers due to the tricky nature of the wave and the sharp reef.

When surfing Cloudbreak, you need to be prepared for various challenges beyond just the waves. Sharp live coral can cause nasty cuts, so make sure to watch where you fall. Also, keep an eye out for sea fog and other marine life that tends to hang around the reef. Don’t forget to pack plenty of water, sunscreen, and a hat to protect yourself from the sun while you enjoy your time at this remarkable surf spot.

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"
