Loblolly Bay surf guide

Loblolly Bay is a remote surf spot located on Anegada, which is quite different from the rest of the British Virgin Islands. This island is basically a massive beach, with its highest point being just 10 meters (30 feet) above sea level. The area around Loblolly Bay offers a unique experience for surfers looking for something a bit off the beaten path, but be ready for a long paddle to reach the peak.

The waves at Loblolly Bay can be enjoyable if conditions are right. The spot typically handles swell sizes up to about 3 feet (1 meter), and it can pick up different types of swells. The optimal swell direction is from the Northeast, though it can also work with swells coming from the Northwest and Southeast. The waves break over dead coral, creating both left and right waves, with the left being a long, relaxed ride and the right being more intense and hollow. For the best experience, aim for mid to high tide when the waves are usually at their best. If the wind is from the south, you'll have more favorable conditions for surfing.

Loblolly Bay is best suited for intermediate surfers due to its challenging nature and the presence of sharks and rips in the area. Make sure to keep an eye on the conditions before heading out, as the environment can be a bit tricky. Enjoy the adventure of this less-traveled surf spot!

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"
