Injou surf guide

Injou is a sheltered surf spot located near the Masuda Space Launch site, set against the backdrop of a large golf course. It’s a pretty beach that offers decent options for surfers looking for a more relaxed vibe. The area gets its fair share of visitors, but it's not always crowded, making it a good choice for those looking to catch some waves without the hassle.

The surf here is usually a long, right-hand wall, but when the swell is big from the east, it can break left as well. Injou handles swell sizes up to about 3 feet (0.9 meters) and works best with an east swell direction, although it can also accept northeast and southeast swells. The waves break over boulders and sand, with reef waves often making an appearance. For optimal conditions, it’s best to surf when the wind is coming from the west and during mid to high tide. This spot is most suitable for intermediate surfers due to its varying wave conditions.

Keep in mind that the inside section can be quite shallow and rocky, so watch your step while paddling in. The waves are generally glassy around here, especially since it’s sheltered from S round to NW winds. This makes Injou a fun place to grab a few waves when the conditions align.

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"
