Unstad Right surf guide

Unstad Right is a surf spot located in Unstad's amphitheater bay, which hosts three distinct waves. This place has become more accessible since the tunnel to the village opened in autumn 1995. Many surfers regard Unstad Right as a pointbreak that can showcase some incredible conditions, possibly making it the best surf spot in Norway when the swell is right. The waves can offer large open faces and powerful pockets that create barrel sections, especially when the wind is blowing from the east. However, the end section tends to close out, so it's important to know what you're getting into.

This spot thrives on clean, longer-period swells coming from the west or north-west but can also handle swells from the south-west. Ideal conditions occur when swells are around 4 feet (about 1.2 meters). The waves break over boulders, and it’s a right-hand wave, which is good to know for your positioning. Low to mid tide works best here, and keep in mind that this spot is suited for expert surfers due to the mixed speed of the waves and the currents. If you can handle it when it’s firing, Unstad Right can be a rewarding place to ride.

When you're planning your surf, remember that Unstad Right is surrounded by stunning alpine scenery, which adds to the overall experience even when the surf isn’t epic. Getting out from the beach is recommended as a safer option compared to launching from the rocks. Make sure you are prepared, as the conditions can change rapidly, and you'll want to make the most of your session.

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"
