How to read the Surfing spots

[Simona Polackova]

Windy presents the "Surfing spots" on the list of POI layers!

Thanks to this feature, we display 4,500+ surfing spots all around the world. For each spot, the following info is provided:

• Swell size range – the minimum swell size needed for surfing, plus the maximum swell size when surfing is still safe
• Swell direction – where the waves are coming from
• Breaksover – the bottom type
• Tide
• Optimum wind – the ideal wind direction
• Wave type

Please note, the “Popularity” indicator with star icons does not reflect our users' reviews. It is generated automatically based on the number of individual spot searches.
