Corto Circuito surf guide

Corto Circuito is a surf spot located at the end of a dirt road, which means you’ll need a 4x4 to get there. It's a bit of a trek, but the wave can be worth the effort. This place isn't too crowded, making it a decent option for those looking to escape the busier surf spots. Just keep in mind that it’s more suitable for intermediate surfers due to its challenging conditions. 

The surf at Corto Circuito features a heaving tube over an outside slab at the point. When the conditions are right, the wave quickly turns into a long, slashable wall that leads to some fun inside bricks. It works best with a south swell, particularly from the southeast or west, and handles swell sizes around 4ft (1.2 meters). The wave breaks over an uneven reef and typically peels to the right. Low tide is the best time to surf here, and the preferred wind direction is from the north. 

Accessing Corto Circuito requires some effort, but once you’re there, you can enjoy a powerful wave that often has good potential. Just remember it's not a place for beginners, so you should have some experience under your belt before paddling out. With the right conditions, it can be a fun spot to surf and help you improve your skills.

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"
