The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it.
Right now, the surf scene is pretty quiet. The first real window of decent waves doesn’t show up until Sunday morning the 13th. Before that, Saturday afternoon the 12th is a write-off – just a messy, marginal 3ft SW swell with a cross-off wind and water temp sitting at 56°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year. Not worth paddling out for.
Sunday the 13th is where we start to see a glimmer. Early morning at Boiler Bay brings a clean 3ft SW swell with a nice offshore breeze. It’s small, but glassy conditions make it fun for the advanced crew on this exposed reef break. The combined energy is moderate (428). The afternoon cleans up even more with light cross-off winds and a clean 2ft SW swell. A good, quiet session if you’re after a mellow one.
Monday the 14th takes a turn – the swell shifts to the NW, picks up a bit to 4ft, but the wind goes cross-on and the period drops to a short 8 seconds. It’s choppy and junky. Not your day.
Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th stay poor. The NW swell hangs around but the wind stays on it or cross-on, making for bumpy, unappealing conditions. Keep the board in the car.
Thursday the 17th is the first real standout. Morning brings a glassy 5ft NW swell with zero wind. That’s clean, powerful, and the combined energy is strong (477). The afternoon is even better – glassy again, 5ft, with a slightly longer 9-second period and very strong energy (501). This is the best of the first week. For advanced surfers, this is a go.
Friday the 18th holds some clean leftover NW swell at 4-4ft with gentle offshore winds. Good, but not the peak.
Then we hit a dry spell. Saturday the 19th through Tuesday the 22nd has small, weak, or poor wind-swell. The combined energy drops, and the wind is mostly onshore. Not much to get excited about.
Wednesday the 23rd is the big one for the second week. The morning brings a glassy 4ft WNW swell with a long 12-second period, and the combined energy jumps to a powerful 767. The afternoon is glassy calm again with 4ft WNW swell (11 seconds, 582 energy). This is the best on offer for the whole outlook. Clean, long-period groundswell hitting a reef – perfect for the advanced crew. Crowds are possible at Boiler Bay, so get in early.
Thursday the 24th and Friday the 25th offer clean but smaller surf, good for a follow-up session.
Saturday the 26th is a mixed bag – morning has a clean 5ft NW swell with offshore wind, but the afternoon dies to a tiny 1ft NW swell with cross-on wind.
Sunday the 27th is another promising call. Morning is glassy with a 4ft WNW swell, long 13-second period, and very strong energy (862). This one is powerful and clean. The afternoon gets a bit cross-on and the energy drops, but the morning session looks standout for the end of the run.
Overall, the clear winners are Thursday the 17th and Wednesday the 23rd – both with glassy conditions and solid, clean swell. Mark those dates.

Information about the Boiler Bay Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Boiler Bay provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Boiler Bay can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Boiler Bay surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Boiler Bay) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Boiler Bay may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
