Mizata surf guide

Mizata is a surf spot located in El Salvador, known for its consistency and relatively uncrowded waves. The beach features about a half-mile of black sand, creating a private feel while offering four different breaks. This place remains surfable when other spots, like Punta Roca and Tunco, go flat. You can find a good vibe here, with friendly locals welcoming surfers looking for some fun in the water.

The main break at Mizata is called The Point, which is a righthander that works best during the last hours of the dropping tide and the first couple of hours of the rising tide. While it doesn’t provide long rides like Punta Roca, it delivers strong drops that can be really enjoyable. The optimal swell direction is Southwest (SSW), and it handles swell sizes from about 3 feet (0.9 meters) to 7 feet (2.1 meters). The waves can break over boulders and sand, with a preference for winds coming from the north. As for the tides, it's best to surf at low to mid tide, especially at The Point, while the other breaks like Tweeners and The Slab have their own preferences. Tweeners picks up more water during high tide, especially with a south swell, and offers some lefts as well. The Slab can be a world-class break on the right swell size and direction.

Mizata works well for a range of surfer abilities, including beginners, intermediates, and pros. You can ride this wave on various board types like shortboards, funboards, longboards, fish, and bodyboards. The vibe is chill, and the crowd factor is definitely less intense than the more popular spots further east. Just be careful of the hazards, especially at Tweeners during low tide, where there are exposed rocks. Overall, Mizata is a solid choice for anyone looking to enjoy some consistent surf without the aggressive crowds.

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.
