Galizano surf guide

Galizano is a surf spot located on the northern coast of Spain. It features a rivermouth beachbreak that's mostly quiet, tucked away down a winding track. The area is rarely crowded, though you might find some locals filling the lineup when the sandbars are working well. It's a picturesque spot, making it a nice place to chill out after surfing, though parking can get tricky during the busy summer months. There are some nearby campsites if you're looking to stay a bit longer.

The surf at Galizano can be quite good depending on the swell. It works best with a NorthWest swell direction, but it can also pick up waves from the West and the North. This break handles swell sizes starting from about 2 feet (0.6 meters) and works well at low to mid-tide. The waves here can break both left and right, making it suitable for different ride preferences. For the best experience, aim for SouthEast winds; they're ideal for clean conditions. This spot is mainly for intermediate surfers, so if you're still learning, you might find it a bit challenging.

Since Galizano is more secluded compared to other spots, it tends to maintain a laid-back vibe. You'll also find that it's a good idea to check the sandbars before heading out, as they can make a big difference in wave quality. If you're planning to surf here, especially during the summer, try to get there early for a better chance at catching good waves.

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"
