Lighthouse Southside surf guide

Lighthouse Southside is a surf spot located on the south side of Pt. Judith. This spot tends to get less crowded compared to its counterpart on the right, making it a good option for those looking to avoid the hustle. It's pretty accessible with the same parking arrangements as the right side, so you won’t have to go far to get to the waves.

This place really starts to shine on a south swell, where it lines up better and can have some powerful sections. The waves generally break over boulders and it’s a left-hand point, which means you can expect some longer rides as the swell builds. On smaller days, there are three peaks that you can work with, and as the swell gets bigger, the waves start to connect nicely, filling in those gaps. While you may catch a few short rights here and there, don’t count on getting barreled; although there can be a hollow section off the first peak when the wind is coming from the northeast. This spot works best with swells coming from the east or south and can handle sizes around 3ft (about 0.9 meters). It’s suitable for intermediate surfers and works well across low, mid, and high tide levels.

Be careful of the environment here; there’s a rock on the inside with a long steel bar sticking out, so keep an eye on that when you're out in the water. Overall, Lighthouse Southside can be a fun spot if the conditions align, especially for those looking to enjoy a less crowded session.

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"
