Maasvlakte Containers surf guide

Maasvlakte Containers is a popular surf spot located at parking 4, known for its more forgiving waves. This spot is a decent choice, especially on busier days, thanks to its broad beach where you can find various peaks along the entire stretch. There are three colored access points marked with yellow, blue, and red poles, plus ample parking space. Generally, the northern red access point is where you'll find the best waves. The vibe in the water is chill, and the locals are friendly.

The surf at Containers handles swell sizes starting from about 1 ft (0.3 meters), with optimal swell direction coming from the Northwest. You'll find waves breaking over sand, which is good news if you're a beginner. The waves come in both left and right directions, offering some variety. For the best surfing experience, the conditions are preferable with Northeast winds and during mid to high tide. This setup makes it easier for less experienced surfers to get into the water without feeling overwhelmed.

During the summer, there's a lifeguard station at the yellow access point, providing some added safety while you're out enjoying the waves. The area, previously marked with containers during construction, still carries that name, but sets a pleasant environment for a day of surfing.

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.
