Yin Yang surf guide

Yin Yang is a surf spot located south of Thaa Atoll, within the smaller and more exposed Laamu Atoll. It’s known for being fairly consistent, making it a go-to choice for local surfers. The location is identifiable by its unique terrain, and it tends to attract surfers looking for a solid wave experience. The vibe is laid-back, so it’s a good spot to chill before or after sessions.

This wave works best with a strong SouthEast swell, which can deliver some thick barrels and a powerful inside section that might be tough, especially for less experienced surfers. The wave breaks over dead coral, providing a right-hand ride that can handle swell sizes from 2ft (about 0.6 meters) and up. Ideal conditions tend to arise with low to high tides, and surfers often find that a West wind is preferable to keep the waves clean. When it's choppy from SW winds, the outside may struggle, but the inside can come alive.

Yin Yang is best suited for expert surfers due to its challenging conditions. It offers a mix of fast, steep drops and the potential for high-speed rides. The outside section breaks in deeper water, so be mindful if you're paddling out. This wave is not just about the barreling action; it also provides a variety of sessions depending on the swell and wind conditions, making it a spot worth checking out.

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"
