Los Lobos surf guide

Los Lobos is a small, uninhabited island off the northeastern coast of Fuerteventura, known for its stunning lunar landscape and clear blue waters. The island is about a mile from the mainland, and getting there usually involves taking a ferry or a private boat. Itโ€™s a unique spot where you can find some good waves, especially when the north swells hit. The atmosphere can be a bit competitive as itโ€™s a popular destination for surfers, so be ready for some crowds.

The surf here is primarily a right-hand point break that can really light up when the swell is in the 4 to 8-foot range (about 1.2 to 2.4 meters). On bigger days, the wave peels for up to 400 meters down the reef, offering some great tube sections. It tends to be quite sectiony when itโ€™s small, but as the swell picks up, you'll find long, rifling rides. The entry and exit can be tricky due to sharp urchins on the bottom, so make sure you know what you're doing. This spot works best with north or northeast swells, while the ideal wind is from the east. The best tides to catch waves here range from low to high, and due to the uneven reef, itโ€™s a place for expert surfers. Shortboards or guns are the way to go if you want to tackle the waves.

Accessing Los Lobos will take some planning; ferries run in the morning and youโ€™ll have a 20-minute walk to get to the break from the port. Itโ€™s worth noting that if youโ€™re considering camping, youโ€™ll need a permit. The water is nice, almost Caribbean-like, but be careful of the sharp reef. Being a low to medium consistency spot means you can expect a good number of local surfers out here, especially when the waves are firing.

Confidence

Confidence tells you how much the weather models agree on the forecast.

  • High confidence: Models agree closely; forecast is reliable.
  • Medium confidence: Some disagreement; conditions may shift slightly.
  • Low confidence: Models diverge; treat forecast with caution.

We calculate the wind confidence by comparing wind speed, gust and direction from multiple models (like GFS, ECMWF, Arome, and Harmonie) and seeing how closely they match. For wave certainty we compare height, period and direction, also on multiple models. They are weighted, meaning that some models count more than others, depending on how good they are for a certain spot.

Readme

Welcome! If youโ€™re new to surf forecasting, check out this quick guide.

Forecast Table

The forecast table (the section on the page with all the numbers) is designed to pack as much information in the screen as possible. Although intimidating at first, it will help you make informed decisions about the waves faster, trust me :D. The table consists of roughly four sections, time and predictions, wind, waves, and tides:

๐Ÿ”ฎ Time and predictions section

Here we show the forecast thour and the overall surf quality prediction. This is determined based on the wave, wind and tide quality prediction. These individual predictions can be found on the forecast map.

๐Ÿ’จ Wind section

The first row on the table (with the ๐Ÿ’จ icon) shows wind speed, direction and gust. The more the wind speed the more aggressive the color (from blue, green, orange to red).

๐ŸŒŠ Wave section

The waves section consists of three rows, one for wave height and direction, one for period and one for wave energy. Our algorithm choices the "dominant wave". This is normally the first swell partition, but with heavy local storms it displays the wind waves. If that's the case, we display the numbers in italic and in gray.

๐ŸŒ’ Tide section

The tide section consists of a row with the actual heights per hour (measured at the half hour) and a table that displays the flow of the tide and the extremes (lows and highs).

Forecast map

The forecast map consists of arrows. These arrows represent all wave partitions (swell partitions and wind wave partition) and the wind. This allows you to see things like: a secondary swell or wind waves messes up the surf, or the wind is just a tick offshore so very surfable. Click a metric label in the bottom left to bring that arrow to the front โ€” handy when arrows overlap.

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.

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"
