Unstad Beach surf guide

Unstad Beach is a surf spot located in Norland, Norway, known for its stunning alpine scenery. It’s a beachbreak that operates in various conditions and is friendly to surfers of all abilities, particularly beginners. With its soft sandy bottom and some scattered boulders, it can offer a decent session despite being a bit sheltered from the swell compared to the pointbreaks nearby. The vibe here is relaxed, making it a great place to learn and enjoy the surf.

The waves at Unstad Beach are pretty adaptable to different swell directions but work best with a west swell. It can easily handle swell sizes starting from 2 feet (about 0.6 meters), breaking over sand and boulders, with both left and right wave directions available. The best times to catch waves here are during low to mid tide, and the spot tends to hold up well with south-east winds. Beginners will find it manageable, especially when the offshores are strong, as they make it easier to handle the waves and have some fun little corners.

There are definitely some fun sessions to be had at Unstad Beach, and with a surf school and surf camp nearby, it’s a good spot to learn. The overall atmosphere is friendly, and the beach is well-equipped to cater to surfers. Just keep in mind that while you can find some enjoyable waves, this spot might not measure up to the same level as the more famous breaks. However, it offers a nice escape and a chance to surf in a stunning setting.

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"

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.
