The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down the next couple of weeks for Boiler Bay.
Right off the bat, it's a slow start. The surf on Sunday and Monday is pretty marginal, with small SW swells and onshore or cross-onshore winds making for a messy picture. The combined energy is moderate (409 to 575) but the quality just isn't there for a proper session.
Things start to look up on Tuesday, the 1st of September. The morning brings a clean, cross-offshore breeze with a 4ft NW swell, period around 9 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (436). It's not massive, but the wind is right and it's clean. This is your best chance for a decent, user-friendly wave in the first half of the week.
The real standout, though, is shaping up for Thursday, the 3rd of September. We' ve got an excellent forecast for experienced surfers. Thursday morning sees a 7ft WNW groundswell with a period of 11 seconds, and a light offshore breeze. The combined swell energy is strong at (1341). Then Thursday afternoon gets even better: glassy conditions, a 8ft WNW swell, and a very long 11-second period. The energy jumps up to (1587). This is the pick of the entire forecast. It's a proper groundswell for this reef break, and with that wind, it'll be world-class. Just be aware, this size is strictly for advanced surfers. Crowds are possible at Boiler Bay, and on a day like this, you can expect some company.
After that, we have a solid Friday on the 4th with a clean 5ft WNW swell in the morning and a glassy 3ft SW swell in the afternoon, but the energy drops back to moderate (694). The next week shows a mixed bag. There's a long gap of poor conditions from the 5th through to the 10th of September, with onshore winds and messy, short-period NW swell. Not worth paddling out.
The next real glimmer of hope comes on Friday, the 11th of September. A clean, gentle offshore wind meets a 3ft SW groundswell with a very long 16-second period. The combined energy is moderate (684). This is a sneaky-good day for a longer board, with those long lines and clean conditions. Then, on Saturday the 12th of September, we get another shot of size for the experts. The morning is glassy with a 7ft WNW swell and strong energy (1130). It's another window for experienced surfers if you can get it before the afternoon cross-onshore chop ruins it.
To sum it up: Thursday the 3rd of September is the absolute standout. Get on it if you can handle the size and the crowd. Friday the 11th is the next best bet for a cleaner, smaller session. The rest of the period is mostly a write-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.
