Salsipuedes surf guide

Salsipuedes is located in Northern Baja and is known for its unique surf experience. Once a thriving surfing spot, it has been transformed into a residential area, making access harder since public roads were closed in 2007. Nowadays, getting there usually means taking a boat, which can be a barrier for some surfers. The surf can be inconsistent, but when itโ€™s good, it offers some thrilling rides.

The main appeal of Salsipuedes is the right point break that some say can be world-class during its prime moments. The spot works best on Northwest swells, which range from 1.2 meters to 4.6 meters (shoulder high to triple overhead). Since the best waves come in on low tides, itโ€™s essential to plan for the conditions. The waves can be powerful as they wrap into the bay, giving surfers a unique chance to ride hollow, fast-peeling rights. There's also a reef break at the top of the point, which can produce lefts and rights, but usually doesnโ€™t have the same punch as the main right point. Surfers should expect to handle some medium paddling at the reef, while the point can get heavy on bigger days. Itโ€™s mainly suited for experienced surfers, and boards like shortboards, longboards, and even guns can be great choices depending on the conditions.

While the environment is generally clean, the crowd factor can be a challenge, especially when the point is firing. Despite the difficult access that keeps true locals away, SoCal surfers are known to make the trek down. With all the factors considered, Salsipuedes can offer some memorable sessions if the timing is right.

Confidence

Confidence tells you how much the weather models agree on the forecast.

  • High confidence: Models agree closely; forecast is reliable.
  • Medium confidence: Some disagreement; conditions may shift slightly.
  • Low confidence: Models diverge; treat forecast with caution.

We calculate the wind confidence by comparing wind speed, gust and direction from multiple models (like GFS, ECMWF, Arome, and Harmonie) and seeing how closely they match. For wave certainty we compare height, period and direction, also on multiple models. They are weighted, meaning that some models count more than others, depending on how good they are for a certain spot.

Readme

Welcome! If youโ€™re new to surf forecasting, check out this quick guide.

Forecast Table

The forecast table (the section on the page with all the numbers) is designed to pack as much information in the screen as possible. Although intimidating at first, it will help you make informed decisions about the waves faster, trust me :D. The table consists of roughly four sections, time and predictions, wind, waves, and tides:

๐Ÿ”ฎ Time and predictions section

Here we show the forecast thour and the overall surf quality prediction. This is determined based on the wave, wind and tide quality prediction. These individual predictions can be found on the forecast map.

๐Ÿ’จ Wind section

The first row on the table (with the ๐Ÿ’จ icon) shows wind speed, direction and gust. The more the wind speed the more aggressive the color (from blue, green, orange to red).

๐ŸŒŠ Wave section

The waves section consists of three rows, one for wave height and direction, one for period and one for wave energy. Our algorithm choices the "dominant wave". This is normally the first swell partition, but with heavy local storms it displays the wind waves. If that's the case, we display the numbers in italic and in gray.

๐ŸŒ’ Tide section

The tide section consists of a row with the actual heights per hour (measured at the half hour) and a table that displays the flow of the tide and the extremes (lows and highs).

Forecast map

The forecast map consists of arrows. These arrows represent all wave partitions (swell partitions and wind wave partition) and the wind. This allows you to see things like: a secondary swell or wind waves messes up the surf, or the wind is just a tick offshore so very surfable. Click a metric label in the bottom left to bring that arrow to the front โ€” handy when arrows overlap.

Forecast Cheat Sheet

Short on time? Focus on wave energy. Itโ€™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.

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. Hereโ€™s the scale:

Perfect
Good
Average
Bad or No Data

Session logs also feed the algorithm โ€” the more you log, the smarter your forecasts get.

With Surfnerd, no more "you should have been here yesterday"
