The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' over the next couple of weeks.
Truth be told, Boiler Bay is in a bit of a slump for the first week. We’ve got a whole lot of nothing going on from Monday the 10th through to Sunday the 16th. The wind is a problem, hammering in from the NNW or NW, keeping things cross-onshore and choppy. The swell is all over the place but mostly small, under 3 feet, and it's just not coming together. The water is a freezing 52°, which is a massive 7° colder than normal for this time of year, a real shock to the system. Overall, the combined wave energy is weak to moderate (174), and the scores are zeros across the board. It’s a dead zone, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it.
We finally get a glimmer of hope on Monday the 17th. The wind swings around to the WSW, blowing a clean, light cross-offshore. The swell holds steady at 3 ft from the SW, with a solid 14-second period. That's proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy is moderate (302). The conditions are looking clean. This pattern holds through Tuesday the 18th, with a little less size but still clean. Honestly, this little window on the 17th and 18th is the only real standout. It’s not a big swell, but it’s the cleanest we’ll see. The southwest direction is exactly what this reef likes, and with light winds, you’ll be trading off a bit of power for a glassy, uncrowded session. The consistency is "fairly consistent," so you’ll get waves.
After that, it’s back to the grind. Wednesday the 19th turns crappy again with the wind going onshore, and then from the 20th through the 25th, it’s a repeat of the first week: nearshore winds, choppy, messy surf. The swell does pick up a bit, hitting 6 ft by the 25th, but it’s all onshore, making it a complete write-off for surfing. That bigger swell with onshore wind is more of a kite-surfing setup than anything for a paddleboard.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a total loss. The only real window is Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th. It’s small, but it’s clean. After that, we’re back to waiting. Don't hold your breath for the second week; it looks bleak.
This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
