Ondarreta surf guide

Ondarreta is located at the west end of La Concha beach in San Sebastian. It's a popular spot, often getting crowded when the waves are good. This beach is known for its decent amenities, making it a convenient choice for surfers looking for a quick session close to the heart of the city. Although it's a fun spot to surf, finding parking can be tricky during the summer months, especially when the waves are up.

The surf here tends to be average, with beach break waves that primarily roll left and right. It works best on a NorthWest swell, but you can catch decent waves from the North as well. Ondarreta handles swell sizes from around 1ft (0.3 meters) and can start to get more lively during strong conditions. It's best at mid to high tide and favors SouthWest winds. While the waves can be short and semi-closeout at times, they can still offer a fun challenge for intermediate surfers looking to improve their skills.

Keep in mind that this spot is often less consistent than others in the area, mainly coming alive during winter months. If you're in the mood for something different when La Zurriola is too crowded or stormy, Ondarreta can be a decent option to consider.

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"

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.
