Unstad Right Surf Forecast 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.

Welcome! If you’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:

🔮 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.

💨 Wind section

The first row on the table (with the 💨 icon) shows wind speed, direction and gust. The more the wind speed the more aggressive the color (from blue, green, orange to red).

🌊 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 chooses the "dominant wave" using spot-adjusted surf energy (depth + directional fit). This is usually the first swell partition, but during local storms it can switch to wind waves. If that happens, values are shown in gray and italic.

🌒 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 — handy when arrows overlap.

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.

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"

Confidence

Confidence tells you how much the weather models agree on the forecast.

High confidence: Models agree closely; forecast is reliable.
Medium confidence: Some disagreement; conditions may shift slightly.

Low confidence

We calculate the wind confidence by comparing wind speed, gust and direction from multiple models (like GFS, ECMWF, Arome, and Harmonie) and seeing how closely they match. For wave certainty we compare height, period and direction, also on multiple models. They are weighted, meaning that some models count more than others, depending on how good they are for a certain spot.
