Crocodile Rock surf guide

Crocodile Rock is located south of its namesake landmark and is known for its sandy point that offers a laid-back surf experience. Reaching the surf spot requires a 20-minute walk, where you'll have to cross two river mouths. This means you might encounter some wildlife along the way, so keep your eyes peeled.

The surf at Crocodile Rock is mostly mushy rights that can work well with a south-east swell direction. It handles swell sizes starting at about 1 foot (0.3 meters) and can also pick up waves from the north and south. The waves break over sand, making it beginner-friendly. The best sessions usually happen when the wind is coming from the south-west and during low to mid to high tide. Overall, it’s a mellow spot that suits surfers looking for an easy-going day on the water.

Since it’s a bit of a trek to get there, you’ll often find that the crowds are pretty low. This makes it a good option if you’re after a more relaxed surfing experience without too many people around. Just be prepared for the walk in, and enjoy the chill vibe once you get to Crocodile Rock.

Readme

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.
