The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty checkin' in from the coast. Let's get straight into it.
Alright, look, I gotta be honest with ya. The next 16 days are looking pretty grim for Boiler Bay. This is a high-performance reef break for advanced surfers only, but the conditions are just not cooperating. Out of the entire stretch, there's really only one window that's worth even paddling out for, so let's break it down.
The water is running at a very chilly 53°F, which is a massive 6°F colder than usual for this time of year. That's a brutal anomaly, so you'll want a thick suit and booties, no doubt.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Wednesday morning, July 22nd. We've got a small swell coming in at 4ft from the NW with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 375. The real kicker here is the wind: it's glassy. Dead flat, offshore. That's a major positive and will make the surface as clean as a whistle. It's not a big day, but for an advanced spot, clean super-small waves can be a lot of fun. This is the only standout in the whole run.
After that, it's a long slog. The wind picks up and stays onshore or cross-onshore for days on end, chopping up anything that forms. There's a pulse of very long-period groundswell (20-22 seconds) from the WSW around July 25th and 26th, with solid combined energy readings (630 to 869), but the wind is cross-onshore and the heights are only 2ft to 3ft. That long period, cross-onshore wind, and small size is a recipe for closeouts and a tough paddle for no reward.
The pattern holds through the end of the month and into August. The swell tries to pick up again on July 31st with a 6ft NW windswell, but the period is a short 7 seconds and the wind is cross-onshore. It's just choppy. The first week of August keeps the same story: onshore winds and messy, poor surf. The wave energy on August 1st afternoon drops to just 78, which is weak.
So, to sum it up: if you're an expert and you're desperate, set your alarm for Wednesday morning, July 22nd. Otherwise, you're looking at a long stretch of nothing. The spot is fairly consistent, but this forecast is a total blank for good quality.
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.
