Kimmeridge - Broadbench surf guide

Kimmeridge - Broadbench is a surf spot located in a military firing range, so it has its unique quirks. This place offers a bit of adventure, but it also comes with some restrictions. To access the spot, you’ll need to pay for parking above K-Bay and then take a 20-minute walk around the cliffs to the west. Keep in mind that access depends on military activity, and it's important to check for any warnings, like the red flag which generally flies on weekdays.

The waves here can be fast and bowly, breaking over an uneven reef, making it suitable for experienced surfers. Kimmeridge - Broadbench handles swell sizes of around 3 feet (about 0.9 meters) and works best with south or west swell directions. You can catch both left and right waves, depending on the conditions. For the perfect ride, the wind should ideally be coming from the north, and the tide can be low, mid, or high. Just remember that the take-offs can be steep and shallow at low tide, so watch out for the reef!

While Kimmeridge - Broadbench doesn’t work all the time, it can be worth the trip if the conditions align. It’s best suited for expert surfers due to the nature of the waves and the reef. Just keep up with the military schedule to make sure you can paddle out when it's safe!

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.
