Googles surf guide

Googles is a surf spot that's only accessible by boat. It's a little off the beaten path but can be worth the trip for surfers looking for a change of scenery. This spot can be less crowded compared to others, giving you a more laid-back vibe while you catch some waves.

The best time to surf at Googles is when the swell is coming from the South or SouthWest. It can handle swell sizes around 2 feet (about 0.6 meters), so it's pretty forgiving for different skill levels. When you do hit the waves, you'll find both left and right breaks over rock ledges and sandy sections. If you want the best conditions, aim for low to mid tide and keep an eye on the wind – east winds are preferred for cleaner waves.

If you're planning to surf at Googles, make sure to check the swell forecast for those South and SouthWest directions. Since it's primarily a boat-access spot, you'll want to plan your trip accordingly. Remember, it's a bit isolated, but that's all part of the adventure!

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"
