Question 8

What is the surf forecast for Corralejo this week?

Accepted Answer

Swell Cabin shows a live 7-day surf forecast for Corralejo and each of its 7 surf spots on https://swellcabin.com/town/corralejo: each spot rated hour by hour (Flat, Poor, Fair, Good, Great or Epic) from the way its coast faces, the swell, its period, the wind and the tide, with the best time each day and why, the size in surfers' words (e.g. "chest to head high, clean"), tides, and how sure the forecast is (three wave models compared). It is checked live against the nearest buoy and airport wind reports where there are any, and refreshed every few hours (waves from Open-Meteo, wind from MET Norway).

Question 9

When is the best tide to surf in Corralejo?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the spot: shallow reefs usually want mid to high tide, most beach breaks work best around mid tide. Swell Cabin's forecast for Corralejo weighs each spot's tide hour by hour and shows the best window each day with the high and low tide times, predicted from the Arrecife tide gauge (38 km away).

Question 10

Is the Corralejo surf forecast checked against measurements?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The open water off Corralejo is checked against the satellite altimeters (Copernicus Marine's near-real-time wave heights): 39 satellite passes within 100 km since 2026-09-23, typically 54 km out, put the forecast wave height within 20% of the measurement 100% of the time. Of the three wave models compared, Météo-France has been the closest to the satellites here. Generated using E.U. Copernicus Marine Service Information (https://doi.org/10.48670/moi-00179). Last checked 2026-11-03.

Question 11

How reliable is Swell Cabin's information about Corralejo?

Accepted Answer

Trust in this page's data is low (45/100): the town has not been verified against sources in the last 12 months; 0 of 7 spots fully verified, 7 with a researched tide; season and water temperature checked against measured data; 5 open audit warnings. How we check: https://github.com/danielgalam/swellcabin/blob/main/docs/data-accuracy.md Last checked against sources on 2026-11-05. Every value comes from measured data (Open-Meteo, buoys), open databases (OpenStreetMap, Wikidata) or a published page we opened, never from visitor reports; a daily audit compares them and a weekly evaluation measures the error rate (https://github.com/danielgalam/swellcabin/blob/main/docs/data-quality.md).
