Llandudno (Cape Penninsula) surf guide

Llandudno is a well-known surf spot located on the Cape Peninsula in South Africa. This beach is popular during the summer months and is known for its beautiful scenery and sheltered location, providing some protection from southeast winds. It's got a mix of surf spots depending on the sand conditions along the beach. The vibe here is laid-back, attracting both local surfers and visitors looking to enjoy the waves.

The surf at Llandudno can be quite fun, especially when the conditions align. The optimal swell direction is from the southwest, but it can also handle swells from the southeast and west. Generally, it works best with swell sizes around 2 feet (about 0.6 meters). The waves break over uneven reef and sand, making for a variety of surfable waves. You'll find mostly beach breaks with lefts and rights available. The north end, known as Gat section, often produces some nice right tubes, while the middle peak and southern corner usually have shorter, sucky rides that can close out quickly. This spot is better suited for intermediate surfers, so some experience is recommended.

When it comes to wind direction, an east wind is preferable, as it really helps clean up the waves. Llandudno can handle all tide heights, including low, mid, and high tides, which gives surfers a bit of flexibility depending on the sea conditions. Just keep in mind that it can get chilly, especially when the southeast wind blows offshore, so be ready for cooler water temperatures.

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.
