The Bubble (Hierro Right) surf guide

The Bubble, also known as Hierro Right, is a surf spot located along the North Track. It's situated just east of Hierro Left and often attracts surfers looking for some fast, fun waves. This area can be a bit crowded since itโ€™s popular among local and visiting surfers alike. The unique atmosphere here is a mix of excitement and competition, so be ready to share the waves with others.

The waves at The Bubble can really deliver. This spot works best with swells from the North (up to 3.6 meters) to the Northwest and West, consistently producing waves that range from waist-high (1 meter) to double overhead (3.6 meters). You'll find solid rights that can be fast and hollow, which makes for an exhilarating ride, while the lefts are usually less intense. The break is on a lava reef, which adds power to the waves as they come in from deep water. The take-off zone tends to be small and can get pretty busy, so keep your head on a swivel. It handles a good variety of swell sizes, specifically from 1 to 3.6 meters, and it's suitable for intermediate to expert surfers. Low to mid tides are often the best times to catch the right waves here.

When heading to The Bubble, you can access it easily by driving along the North Track and parking right where you can see the breaks. The preferred wind directions are southeast to south-southwest, which helps shape those clean, rideable waves. Paddling out is manageable as there are channels available, but watch out for the sharp rocks, especially when the waves are heavy. The best season to surf here is from October to March, when conditions tend to be prime.

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 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"
