Lorne Point surf guide

Lorne Point is a well-known surf spot located near the popular holiday town of Lorne. It's a spot that attracts plenty of surfers, especially during the summer when the crowds get thick. The major bay offers some protection, making it a decent place to catch waves when conditions align. While it sees its fair share of visitors, surfers are often out here hoping for those rare days when the waves really turn on.

The best days here come with a Southeast swell and Southwest winds, making the right-hand point waves a real treat. When the swell hits around 1 meter (3 ft), the break works over a mix of uneven reef and sand, providing opportunities for speed carves and snaps. The wave runs for a decent distance, with some sections reaching impressive lengths, but it can also be a bit sectiony, making it tricky to line up perfectly. Surfers should aim for low to mid tide for the best conditions, as the lower tide tends to offer better shapes. It’s a spot suited for intermediate surfers looking for some fun waves, with a wave direction that favors right-handers.

If you venture around the corner past the pier, there are a couple of other right-handers to check out. “Barrels” offers a short, sharp drop into some deeper water, while “Weeds” packs a powerful outside section that can get messy with rips but usually catches the swell more easily than the point. Just keep in mind that as you get closer to Lorne, the crowds can become a real hassle, especially during peak holiday times.

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.
