Keauhou Point surf guide

Keauhou Point is a surf spot located on the Big Island of Hawaii, known for its stunning scenery and unique lava rock formations along the coast. The area is a great spot for intermediate surfers looking to enjoy some fun waves while taking in the beautiful surroundings. With access to hiking trails, such as the Puna Coast trail, it’s a nice destination for those who want to explore as well as surf.

This spot really shines on bigger south and southeast swells, where it delivers long, walled-up left waves that can be fun for those with some experience. It handles swell sizes around 3 ft (about 0.9 m) and works best with a swell direction coming from the south but can also pick up some action from the east. The waves break over uneven reef, so it's important to be aware of the ocean floor. Mid tide is the sweet spot here, and if you're lucky enough to have a north wind, that makes for even better surf conditions.

Besides the surf, the area is notable for its vibrant natural environment, with the unique lava formations adding to the scenic view. It's also a good idea for surfers to time their sessions around the tides for the best experience. Overall, Keauhou Point offers a nice mix of waves and nature that intermediate surfers will enjoy.

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.
