Local knowledge
Mississippi's beaches sit behind barrier islands that absorb the Gulf's swell, so Biloxi surf is a storm-day novelty — pre-frontal winds or a tropical system pushing waves across the Sound. Locals keep a soft-top in the truck for exactly those afternoons.

FAQ
What swell direction works best at Biloxi?
S swell hits Biloxi straight on. The spot picks up anything arriving from E (100°) through WSW (250°); swell from outside that window is blocked by the coastline.
What wind is best at Biloxi?
N wind blows offshore and grooms the surf. S wind is straight onshore and chops it up; light wind under ~5 kn is fine from any direction.
When is the best time of year to surf Biloxi?
Winter cold fronts (November-March) make most of the year's surf, with tropical systems (June-November) providing the standout days. Expect long flat spells in mid-summer.
What's the best tide at Biloxi?
High. Tide predictions for the spot's NOAA station are in the forecast above.
Is Biloxi good for beginners?
Yes, on the rare days there's anything to ride.
How warm is the water at Biloxi?
Roughly 52°F at its late-winter coldest to about 86°F in late summer. In practice that means a 4/3 in winter and trunks or a rash guard in summer. The forecast above shows the current water temperature.
How far out is this forecast reliable?
The wave model has real skill to about 10 days, and we cut the chart there instead of padding it with guesses. Days 1-3 are solid, 4-7 useful, 8-10 a trend heads-up - and we publish our measured error against NOAA buoys, updated continuously.
