Nishinoura surf guide

Nishinoura is a surf spot located on the west side of Fukuoka, along the headland that juts into the Genkai Sea. It's known for its rocky shoreline and offers some decent waves when the conditions are right. This place isn’t for beginners, so make sure you have some experience before paddling out.

The surf here tends to favor a northeast to north swell and can handle sizes around 2ft (0.6m) and up. When it’s on, you can expect long, peeling lefts that break over an uneven reef. The best wind direction is southeast, and this spot works at all tide heights, whether it’s low, mid, or high. The waves can be fun for intermediate surfers looking for a challenge, but don’t underestimate the rocky bottom.

Keep in mind, maintaining a good awareness of the conditions is crucial here. Make sure to check the swell direction as north and northwest can be pretty solid. Overall, Nishinoura can offer some good sessions if you’re ready for it, just be cautious of the rocks and know your limits.

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.
