Playa La Castilla surf guide

Playa La Castilla is a surf spot located just south of the bridge over the Cordova. It features a mix of rocky and sandy sections, making it a unique place to catch some waves. The beach typically attracts surfers looking for something a bit different, and it's a spot where you can find waves breaking under various conditions.

This surf spot shines especially on south and west swells, with the best left breaking off the rocks and rolling into the beach. The waves can reach about 4 ft (1.2 m) and often deliver powerful and pushy rides. While you won't find many barreling sections here, the waves can be long and fast. The optimal wind for surfing is from the east, and it works well on low, mid, and high tides. It's important to note that this spot is better suited for intermediate surfers, given the rippy conditions and uneven reef.

In terms of swell direction, Playa La Castilla is best with south swells, but it can handle west ones too. The unique combination of wave types, primarily point breaks, makes it an interesting challenge for those looking to improve their skills. Just be prepared for a lot of movement in the water, as the rip currents can get pretty strong at times.

"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.

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"
