The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Boiler Bay.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a pretty bleak start. The next few days are delivering messy, onshore conditions with only tiny scraps of swell. Friday the 28th is a write-off – poor surf with cross-onshore winds and choppy water, swell barely 3ft from the WNW with weak energy (242). Saturday morning the 29th shapes up a bit cleaner with a light cross-off breeze and 2ft SW groundswell sporting a 17-second period, but wave height is tiny and the afternoon turns ugly again. Sunday the 30th has some stronger energy (474) but the wind is cross-on and it’s marginal at best. Monday the 31st through Tuesday the 1st of September stays poor to marginal. Really, the first real hope doesn’t arrive until Wednesday the 2nd of September.
Wednesday morning the 2nd sees a jump in size – 7ft from the WNW with a 10-second period, and fresh offshore south winds keeping it clean. Combined energy is strong (932), and by afternoon that energy ramps up to 1138, making for excellent surf for experienced surfers. Swell stays around 7ft, period 10s, with moderate offshore winds. This is a standout for the whole outlook. The water temperature is about average for the time of year.
Thursday the 3rd keeps the goodness rolling: 7ft NW swell (11-second period) offshore winds from the SSE, energy hitting 1344 – this is excellent, heavy stuff for advanced crew only. Friday morning the 4th fades to 4ft and cross-on wind, so the quality drops off quickly. You get a long stretch of average-to-poor conditions after that.
There is a little window around Sunday the 6th of September with glassy, clean 2ft SW swell (15-second period) in the morning – not big, but beautiful for a longboard or a fish if you just need a paddle. Monday the 7th also has clean, small waves around 2ft with cross-off breezes. Not a standout, but a calm couple of days.
Later on, Friday the 11th of September brings a 6-6ft NW swell (11-second period) with moderate energy (951-1044), but the wind stays cross-on, so it’s only marginal. That one is still over a week out, so promising but less certain.
Overall, the best bet in this 16-day run is Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd of September – solid 6-7ft NW swell with offshore winds and strong energy – that’s the one for experienced surfers only.
Signing off,
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.
