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).

When is the best tide to surf in Razo?

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 Razo 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 La Coruna tide gauge (26 km away).

How accurate is the surf forecast for Razo?

Swell Cabin checks it against the Langosteira II coastal buoy (14 km away, E.U. Copernicus Marine Service): over 329 hours from 2026-10-23 to 2026-11-05 the forecast wave height was within 20% of the buoy 85% of the time after correcting the wave model, which ran 24% low there (44% before). Last checked 2026-11-05.

Is the Razo surf forecast checked against measurements?

Yes. The open water off Razo is checked against the satellite altimeters (Copernicus Marine's near-real-time wave heights): 50 satellite passes within 100 km since 2026-09-23, typically 59 km out, put the forecast wave height within 20% of the measurement 82% of the time. Of the three wave models compared, Météo-France has been the closest to the satellites here. Nearer the coast, the buoy above decides the correction. Generated using E.U. Copernicus Marine Service Information (https://doi.org/10.48670/moi-00179). Last checked 2026-11-04.

Trust in this page's data is low (52/100): the town has not been verified against sources in the last 12 months; 0 of 1 spots fully verified, 1 with a researched tide; season and water temperature checked against measured data; 1 open audit warning. 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).
