Boiler Bay Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's coming up at Boiler Bay.

The next 16 days have some potential, but you've got to pick your moments. The water is running at 56°F right now, which is a bit colder than usual, so you'll want a good wetsuit.

The best window of the whole forecast is the first Saturday morning, September 5th. It's a standout. The wind goes glassy, dead calm, and we've got a clean 3ft of SW groundswell rolling in. The period is a long 16 seconds, which means proper energy and shape. It's a reef break, so that long period will work well here. The combined wave energy is a solid moderate 548. It's not huge, but it'll be clean and fun. Just keep in mind it's an advanced spot, and crowds are possible.

The next real highlight is Saturday, September 12th. The morning starts glassy again with a light offshore flow. The swell has bumped up to a nice 5ft from the WNW, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is a strong 675. This is your best bet for a bit more size without it getting out of control. The wind is calm, so it should be glassy.

Then, Sunday, September 13th is another one to circle. The morning is glassy again, and we get a solid 6ft of NW swell. The energy is up at 674. The afternoon sees a clean 5ft with a cross-off wind, which is still good. This is a bigger swell, but still manageable for experienced surfers.

The Monday the 14th starts off clean and glassy with 5ft of WNW swell, but the afternoon turns ugly with a strong onshore wind.

The rest of the second week, from the 15th onwards, is mostly a write-off. There's a lot of onshore wind from the north, with some bumpy, choppy conditions. The swell is there, but the quality is poor.

So, the call is clear. For the best surf, aim for the mornings of September 5th, 12th, and 13th. The 5th is the standout for clean, glassy conditions, but the 12th and 13th offer more size. Don't bother with the afternoons unless you like getting blown off your board.

Rusty.
