The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break this down.
Honestly, the first ten days or so are a total bust. We’re looking at a big gap with no real surf until the 16th of August. The water is running way colder than normal for this time of year, at about 54°F, which is over 5°F below average, so you’ll be needing a thick wetsuit.
The only break in the game is Boiler Bay, a reef setup for advanced surfers only. It’s fairly consistent, but the wind and swell are not cooperating. Early on, it’s all cross-onshore breezes with short-period, weak NW windswell. The combined energy is low, like 269 on Thursday morning the 6th, with 4ft of bumpy, 8-second swell. It’s just not happening.
The first real chance comes on Sunday, the 16th of August. The morning has a light cross-offshore breeze from the SSW, making it clean. The swell is small at 2ft, but it’s a long-period 16-second groundswell from the SW. That’s good energy for a reef. The combined energy is moderate at 209. It’s a standout window, but it’s still a week and a half out, so keep your expectations in check.
Monday the 17th morning is similar – clean, cross-offshore wind, with 2ft of SW swell at 15 seconds. It’s marginal but usable.
The absolute best session of the whole forecast is Tuesday morning, the 18th of August. The wind goes glassy – a light SSE breeze at just 3 mph, practically flat calm. The swell is 3ft from the W at 14 seconds, a solid groundswell. The combined energy jumps to 507 (moderate), so there’s some real power. For a reef, a long-period W swell with glassy conditions is a dream. This is the one to circle on your calendar, but it’s a long way off, so don’t book the day off work just yet.
After that, the wind turns onshore again from the NNW, and the quality drops back to poor for the rest of the second week.
So, the story is: a long wait, a couple of clean but tiny mornings on the 16th and 17th, and then a glassy, promising session on the morning of the 18th. That’s your best shot.
Rusty.

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.
