Open Doors surf guide

Open Doors is a surf spot located on the east side of Isla Natividad. It's known for its dredging barrels that can be seen offshore in the afternoons. Be ready for some powerful waves that can really challenge your skills on both lefts and rights. This spot can get pretty crowded, so it’s good to have your game on if you're planning to hit the water here.

The waves at Open Doors work best with south swells, but they can handle swells coming from the southeast and northwest too. They can manage swell sizes from around 2ft (0.6 meters) up to bigger days. The bottom is sandy, and the wave type is beach break, which makes for fun rides if you know how to maneuver. The preferred wind direction here is northwest, and it can work on low, medium, and high tides. Just keep in mind that this spot is best suited for expert surfers due to the power of the waves.

If you’re looking for other surf options nearby, you might want to check out Siren Bay for some big wave action or Old Mans and Frijole for different types of breaks. Each spot has its own vibe, so exploring around can lead to some great sessions.

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"
