Muizenberg surf guide

Muizenberg is a well-known surf spot located in Cape Town, South Africa. It's famous for its long stretch of sandy beach that attracts surfers of all skill levels. The area has a chill vibe and is a great place to catch some waves, especially if you're looking to hang out with other surfers. The beach has been a popular surfing destination for years and offers a range of surfable waves.

The waves at Muizenberg are generally fun and rolling, making it a go-to spot for beginners. The optimal swell direction comes from the SouthEast, but it can also handle swells from the SouthWest. You can expect the waves to break over sand, with sizes that can go down to 1 foot (about 0.3 meters), making it ideal for less experienced surfers. The waves usually offer both left and right breaks, giving you plenty of options to choose from. For the best surfing conditions, the preferred wind is from the NorthWest, and low to mid-tide works best here.

Muizenberg is a great spot that caters to all abilities and surf craft. If you're just learning to ride the waves or want to progress your skills, there are plenty of spots along the beach that are friendly for beginners, especially around Makassar and Strand. The Corner and Cemetery are popular spots but be prepared for mixed conditions depending on the day, as not every session here is going to be epic.

Readme

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"

"Great Forecasts. Nothing more, nothing less."
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.
