Maroubra surf guide

Maroubra is one of the more consistent beaches in the city, known for offering surfable waves throughout the year. Located in Sydney, it provides a range of surf conditions suitable for different skill levels. The beach is quite popular, especially among surfers looking to catch some good waves without having to travel far from the city center.

This spot works best with a NorthEast swell, but it can handle swells coming from South as well. It’s great for beginners as even with smaller swells around 1ft (0.3 meters), you can find decent waves. The breaks are mostly over sand, with left waves found at the north end during summer NE swells. The middle of the beach sees peaks in any swell while you might get the occasional right at the southern end. Low to mid and high tides are all good times to surf here, but the best wind direction is from the west.

It’s a good idea to keep an eye on the surf conditions, especially during peak times, as it can get crowded. Maroubra is a friendly spot for surfers of all levels, and with the right conditions, it makes for a decent day out on the water.

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.
