Meters surf guide

Meters is a beachbreak located just south of Casino Pier. It's a popular spot, especially during the summer, attracting a lot of surfers due to the good waves and the lively atmosphere. The beach has metered parking, so be prepared to pay if you want to hang out here for a while. This is a designated surfing beach, so you'll need to have a surfing tag, and there’s a fee if you want to use the restrooms or showers.

The surf at Meters can be pretty fun, especially when the swell is around 2ft. (0.6m). The optimal swell direction is from the east, but it can also handle swells coming from the northeast and south. When conditions are right, you'll find nice, steep workable walls and even some barrels. Most waves break to the right over sand, making it a decent spot for beginners to practice. For the best experience, low to mid-tide works well, but keep in mind that high tide can really kill the vibe when the swell is small.

Since this place can get pretty crowded, especially during peak times in summer, it's a good idea to arrive early to snag a spot in the lineup. The waves here are generally friendly and beginner-friendly, making it a good choice if you're looking to improve your skills. Just be aware that the popular nature of Meters means you might have to share the water with a lot of other surfers.

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"
