Gwenver surf guide

Gwenver is a privately-owned beach located near Sennen Cove, offering surfers a decent spot to catch some waves. It has a small car park, but keep in mind that space is limited. If you can’t find a spot in the lot, you’ll need to look for alternatives or park at Sennen and walk over. The local authorities have been strict about parking, especially against cars blocking access roads, so be careful. Note that overnight parking or van parking isn't allowed, which might be a bummer for those looking to hang out longer.

The surf at Gwenver works best with a low to mid tide and handles swell sizes from about 3ft (1 meter) to 10ft (3 meters). The waves come mainly from the west and west-southwest, breaking over a sandy bottom. Surfers can expect both right and left-hand waves, which can be fun for everyone from beginners to intermediates. The preferred wind direction is from the east to east-south-east, which helps create better conditions. You can bring a variety of boards here; whether you’re on a shortboard, funboard, longboard, fish, or even bodyboarding, there should be something for you, but it's worth noting that it can get pretty crowded, especially on weekends or when there's not much surf elsewhere.

Access to the beach is primarily through the Sennen Cove car park, so prepare for a bit of a walk if you're coming from there. The crowd factor can be an issue, as locals and tourists alike flock to this spot, especially during the autumn season when conditions are often more favorable. Just keep your eyes peeled for other surfers out there, and be respectful of other beachgoers!

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"
