Foum Labouir surf guide

Foum Labouir is a well-known surf spot in Dakhla that's popular among surfers looking for reliable waves. It features a good mix of different sections, making it suitable for most skill levels. The break is located at the point, where you can find a decent wave that holds up in a variety of conditions. With its north-west swell direction, the spot consistently offers surfable waves throughout the year.

This place generally favors a right point break, with waves breaking over a mix of uneven reef and sand. You can expect to catch some fun rides here, especially with swell sizes around 1 ft (roughly 0.3 meters) and up. The tide can vary, but low, mid, and high tides all work at Foum Labouir. The waves wall up nicely, giving you plenty of opportunities for open-face carves and rebound shoulder sections. Though the first section can be wind-exposed, the end section is more sheltered by a low cliff, making it a better option when the wind picks up. A preferable east wind helps to create cleaner conditions, adding to the overall experience.

The drift down the point is manageable, especially when the tide is low. Walking back on the exposed sandbar is usually pretty easy, but be careful of the nasty rocks further out in the water. Foum Labouir is also relatively beginner-friendly during smaller swells, but it's better suited for intermediate surfers when the conditions get bigger.

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"
