Grand-Lahou surf guide

Grand-Lahou, located west of Abidjan, is a tourist zone that attracts surfers looking for a variety of beachbreaks. The area features a sandbank that provides both decent right and left waves. It's best to hit the spot during an incoming tide for optimal conditions.

The surf here typically handles swell sizes around 2ft (approximately 0.6 meters) and works best with swells coming from the South and Southwest. The waves mainly break over sand and offer a mix of left and right rides. If you're planning your session, keep in mind that the best wind direction is from the North, and you can surf at low, mid, or high tide, making it relatively flexible for different surf styles. This spot is recommended for intermediate surfers looking for a good session.

While enjoying your time at Grand-Lahou, keep in mind that you'll find a variety of conditions, so it's worth checking the surf reports regularly. It’s a nice place to catch some waves, but make sure to be aware of your surroundings and enjoy what this spot has to offer.

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.
