Dunes - WA surf guide

Dunes is a relaxed surf spot located on the North West Cape of Western Australia. It's known for its series of reefs that provide a mix of waves, making it a decent place to catch some rides. The vibe here is pretty mellow, and you can often find yourself with just a few friends sharing the ocean instead of a crowd.

The surf here works best with south-west swell, but it can also handle waves coming from the south and west. You can expect to surf waves in the range of about 1 meter to just under 1 meter (3 feet), making it suitable for intermediate surfers. The waves break over a rock ledge and offer both lefts and rights. For the best conditions, south-west winds are preferable, and you can surf on low, mid, or high tides without losing too much quality.

If you decide to check out Dunes, be mindful of the rips that can pop up. They can be tricky, especially with the occasional shark presence in the area, so it's good to stay aware of your surroundings while you’re out there. Overall, Dunes is a chill spot to enjoy some surfing if you’re looking for a less crowded experience.

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.
