The Lowdown
Right off the bat, the forecast is pretty grim. We’re looking at a long stretch of onshores and junky surf at Boiler Bay. That northeast wind is gonna be a constant pain in the ass for the next week and a half, making most of the windows just a messy onshore slop. The first real glimmer of hope doesn't show up until Tuesday the 15th. We're talking about a serious wait, about a nine-day gap of mostly poor, blown-out conditions before things finally clean up.
When that day finally comes, it’s a whole different story. Tuesday morning the 15th is the standout. A light SSW breeze is going to groom those waves perfectly, with around 3.5ft of NW swell and a 9-second period. It won’t be huge, but it will be clean, and that’s worth its weight in gold after a run like this. The combined energy is about 310, which is modest, but the quality will be all there. This is a reef break, so it can handle that period. I’d be there early.
The good news is that offshore wind holds for the afternoon, keeping things in the waist-high range. The bad news is the swell starts to back off pretty quickly. We’ll still have some clean, rideable waves on Wednesday morning the 16th, but it’s fading fast. After that, the north winds come screaming back and it’s back to the drawing board. We might see a little pulse of long-period energy from the WSW arrive on the 19th and 20th, but with a strong northerly wind on it, it’s gonna be a closed-out mess. That Tuesday window is the one, plain and simple. If you can, you gotta be there.

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.
Boiler Bay is 70 km (43 miles) from Corvallis. If you plan a vacation in North Oregon, look for hotels and other accommodation in Corvallis. Corvallis has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
