Rockslide surf guide

Rockslide is a surf spot with a unique vibe that attracts surfers looking for a laid-back session. It's positioned in a way that catches decent swell, making it a spot worth checking when conditions are right. The environment is pretty chill, but don't expect anything too extravagant. It’s a good place if you're looking to ride some waves without the hype of more popular spots.

The best waves here usually come from the west, but it can handle swells coming from the south and northwest as well. When it’s on, you can expect waves that range from 2 feet (about 0.6 meters) up to a fun size that breaks over the RockLedge. You’ll find both left and right-hand waves, catering to whatever your preference is. Low to mid tides are preferred here, and if the wind is blowing from the east, you're in for a better session. Just keep in mind that on average days, it might not blow your mind, but it can still be a decent ride.

When planning your visit, it's good to keep an eye on the tide and wind conditions. The low to mid tide can often deliver the best surf, and the east winds can clean up the waves. While it’s not the most famous spot, Rockslide can definitely hold its own when the conditions align. Grab your board and check it out when you're in the area!

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"
