Seaside Point surf guide

Seaside Point is a well-known surf spot located in the Pacific Northwest, famous for its hollow left-hand point break. When it’s firing on a W or SW swell, surfers flock here to catch some quality waves. The setup includes two main breaks: First Point, which offers long, smooth rides, and Second Point, known for its shorter, juicier waves. The ocean floor is made up of boulders, so it’s essential to know what you're doing out there. The access to the water requires a bit of a trek, as there's a 650-yard (about 600 meters) hike over slick rocks to get to the surf zone.

This spot works best on a west swell and can handle sizes around 4 feet (1.2 meters). The waves typically break left, making them ideal for regular footers. The best wind direction is southeast, which helps shape the waves nicely. While it can handle various tide heights, low to mid tide is often preferred to avoid backwash from the rocky shoulders. Keep in mind that the take-off area can be pretty narrow, especially on perfect days, so it’s a good idea to be an intermediate surfer to handle the crowd and the wave's demands.

While the wave quality can be exceptional, the crowd here can be challenging. Surfers often face some fierce competition when it comes to getting waves, and the locals can be protective of their spot. Make sure to be respectful and patient in the lineup. If you do decide to venture out, be aware of the boulders and the possibility of encountering sharks, as the break is situated quite far out in the ocean. After a long session, there are restroom facilities available at the roadside parking, but they’re closed during the winter months.

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"
