Solimar Reef and Beach surf guide

Solimar Reef and Beach is a surf spot located along the Solimar community. Accessible by walking paths on either end, it offers parking in a dirt area to the south or along the road. The environment here can be manageable, but sometimes a bit rough, especially after it rains. Overall, it’s a place that balances a mellow vibe with some decent surf options.

The surf at Solimar features a fast, ledgy, two-way peak that breaks around 300 yards (about 274 meters) offshore during big winter swells. It generally handles swell sizes from 3 feet (about 0.9 meters) to 10 feet (about 3 meters). While it can throw down some solid waves, it usually doesn't go above double-overhead. Keep in mind the kelp can be thick at the start of winter swells, making for a challenging experience. The Reef is best with south swells and low to medium-high tides. For those looking for easier rides, there's Solimar Point nearby with a decent left on SW swells and medium-high tides, though the waves can be mushy in winter. Inside the Point, the beachbreak adds another option, especially during good windswell. You can ride various types of boards here, including shortboards, funboards, and longboards, which makes it suitable for different surfing styles and abilities, including beginners.

When it comes to crowds, Solimar usually has a light to moderate crowd factor, so you're likely to find space to surf. The preferred wind direction is northeast, which can enhance the surf experience. Just be warned, getting dumped on the outside reef is a hazard when the waves are big. Solimar Surf is rideable year-round, making it a versatile option for surfers of all levels.

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.

Welcome! If you’re new to surf forecasting, check out this quick guide.

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"
