Frequently Asked Questions

What tide is best at Casa Blanca?

The Casa Blanca profile favors mid to high tide, ideally between 0.4m and 1.5m on the local tide chart. Compare this preference with the forecast tide and local conditions before choosing a session.

What wind direction is offshore at Casa Blanca?

The Casa Blanca profile uses wind from E (90°) as its preferred direction, with an offshore range of 70° to 110°. Wind speed matters too: light winds outside that range can still produce surfable conditions, while strong offshore winds can make takeoffs difficult.

What swell size and direction work best at Casa Blanca?

The Casa Blanca scoring profile favors swell from SSW (180° to 225°), a swell-height range of 0.9m to 1.8m, and a reference period of 14s. These are model inputs, not guaranteed breaking-wave heights or a promise that the surf will suit every ability.
