La Vedette surf guide

La Vedette is located about 30 kilometers north of Huasco, past Los Toyos. It's a surf spot that generally flies under the radar, making it a good option if you're looking to avoid crowds. The consistency here is mid-range, so you can expect decent surf conditions on a regular basis.

The waves at La Vedette are best when there's a solid swell coming from the southwest, with optimal directions being south and west. It can handle swell sizes starting from around 2 feet (about 0.6 meters). The surf here breaks over an uneven reef, producing standout barreling lefts as it wraps around a rocky point. For the best experience, aim for low to mid or even high tide, and ideally, the wind should be coming from the southeast. This spot is suitable for intermediate surfers, so make sure you're comfortable with your skills before hitting the water.

If the swell is too small or conditions aren't ideal at La Vedette, you might want to check out the long beach to the north, which can provide alternatives for catching some waves. Just remember to keep an eye out for the rocks when you're in the water, especially on the inside.

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. Itโ€™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 โ€” 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. Hereโ€™s the scale:

Perfect
Good
Average
Bad or No Data

Session logs also feed the algorithm โ€” the more you log, the smarter your forecasts get.

With Surfnerd, no more "you should have been here yesterday"
