Indicators surf guide

Just down the beach from Domes and near the Lighthouse, you'll find Indicators. It's named after the rock in the middle of the lineup, which serves as a cue for sets heading towards The Point and Maria's. This spot can get tricky when it's on, so you need to be ready. To catch a wave, you’ll want to take off almost directly in front of that rock. If you’re feeling brave, you might even want to take on the Deadman's peak right in front of it. As you ride the wave, you’ll notice it starts to get better right around the rock, especially when the tide is high. The rock does help spread the crowd out a bit, so it's not too overcrowded, which is a plus.

When it comes to the waves at Indicators, you're looking at head-high to double overhead swells (about 1.2 to 2.4 meters). It handles swells from 4ft to 8ft (1.2 to 2.4 meters) and works best with NW, N, or even NNW swells. The wave type here is a mix of reef and point, breaking to the right. You’ll want the wind coming from the NNE, NE, ENE, E, or even SE for the best conditions. Generally, lower tides are better, specifically low to mid. Keep in mind, the paddle out can be a workout, depending on the swell.

As for access, you can park just before the lighthouse and make your way through the brush to get to the spot. Don’t expect a bustling crowd; you’ll mainly see a few locals, and the vibe is pretty chill. The best time to hit up Indicators is during late summer and fall for the tropical cyclone swells, or from late fall through early spring for some consistency. It’s a solid alternative to Maria’s when the conditions are right, and it works well for both shortboards and bodyboards, but you’ll need to have some experience to handle this break.

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.
