Hullet's Reef surf guide

Hullet’s Reef is located in St. Francis Bay and is known for its laid-back vibe. This spot is mostly frequented by beginners due to its mellow waves, making it a great choice for those just starting out in surfing. The surrounding area is scenic and relaxed, which adds to the overall experience of hitting the waves here.

The surf at Hullet's Reef generally works best with swells coming from the SouthEast, but you can also catch decent waves with swells from the East and SouthWest. The waves break over an uneven reef, creating a mix of right and left-hand waves, but it's the lefts that tend to be more forgiving for beginners. It’s ideal to surf during low, mid, or high tides, as the conditions remain favorable throughout the tide cycle. For the best experience, pay attention to the wind, as SouthWest winds are preferred here.

This spot is truly a beginner-friendly location, so if you're still finding your feet on the board, Hullet's Reef is worth checking out. With a combination of gentle waves and beautiful surroundings, it provides a good opportunity to develop your skills without too much pressure from challenging surf conditions.

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.
