Porto Martins- Ponta Negra surf guide

Porto Martins - Ponta Negra is a well-known surf spot that attracts surfers looking for some decent waves. It’s located in a scenic area with a vibrant local feel. The beach gets a fair amount of crowd, especially on good days, so expect to share the waves with other surfers. The vibe is friendly, but as always, be mindful of the locals and their customs.

The surf here is mainly a left-point break that works best on big northwest swells. On those days, conditions can get pretty exciting, and the waves can reach up to 1.2 meters (4 ft). The spot fits surfers at intermediate levels, making it a great choice when the swell is manageable. With the right northwestern winds, you can experience some fast, sharp waves that break over uneven reef, offering opportunities for big tubes. It's important to keep in mind that the waves can become more challenging when they reach double overhead, so know your limits. You'll want to kick out of the wave before the end on bigger days to avoid any risks near the rocks.

Porto Martins handles all tide heights, which is a plus, so you can find surfable waves whether it's low, mid, or high tide. Beyond the main break, there’s a bit of a mushy right point in front of the swimming pool just around the corner, which can be a good option, too. Make sure to check the forecast before heading out, as the conditions can change quickly.

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"
