Dorothy's surf guide

Dorothy's is located south of the port on a spit of land known as West Point. This spot has a friendly vibe, and the locals have a strong community spirit, but the area shows signs of neglect. The beach here is used for various purposes, which can detract from the overall experience. Despite this, it is a unique place where you can find some decent waves.

The surf at Dorothy's features a long, wind-protected left-hand point break that works best with south-west swells. You can expect the waves to handle sizes starting at around 2 ft (0.6 m) and can go up depending on the conditions. The waves break over both sand and boulders, providing a good mix. For the best sessions, you’ll want to paddle out during low to mid tides, and the ideal wind direction is southeast. It’s important to note that the surf gets a bit more hectic when the swell is smaller, as it can build up and come very close to the rocks. This spot is suitable for intermediate surfers, so be prepared to show some skill when timing your takeoff and maneuvers.

As you get ready to surf, keep in mind that you’ll need good balance and timing to navigate the rocky areas while paddling out. It's a bit of an adventure, but the waves can be rewarding if you catch them right. Don't forget to park at the orphanage and leave a little something for the kids – it's a nice gesture and contributes to the local community.

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"
