Punta Dos surf guide

Punta Dos is a surf spot located in Iquique that caters to experienced surfers. It features a barrelling wave that breaks over an uneven reef, making it a challenging place to ride. The line-up tends to be dominated by bodyboarders, and while it might look like a righthand point setup, don't be fooled—there are lefts available, especially depending on the swell angle. Just a bit further north, you can find more exciting lefts at La Cosa.

This spot works best with a swell direction from the Southwest, although swells from the South and Northwest can also produce rideable waves. Punta Dos can handle swell sizes starting from about 3 feet (1 meter) and up. The waves here are fast and need good timing and skill to tackle, especially as they push forward quickly from the take-off zone. The ideal conditions for surfing include low to mid tide and even high tide. If the wind is blowing from the East, that's when you'll have the best sessions. Keep in mind that this is not for beginners—only experienced surfers should take on the challenge here.

While surfing at Punta Dos, be careful of the dry sucks, boils, and urchins that are part of the landscape. The atmosphere can be intense, so approach with caution and be ready to navigate the tricky reef. Overall, Punta Dos offers a demanding surf experience that’s more suited for those looking to push their limits.

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"
