Boiler Bay Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got one spot on the radar, and it’s a bit of a mixed bag.

Overall, we’re looking at a window that starts with a few days of clean, rideable waves, but then a long stretch of absolute junk kicks in. The best calls are right at the start, so don’t sleep on ’em.

The first decent session rolls in on Friday morning, July 24th. Boiler Bay is seeing some chest-high waves, around 4 feet, pushing in from the NW with a short period of 9 seconds. The wind is a light cross-offshore breeze, which means the surface is gonna be clean. The combined swell energy is moderate, at 338, so there’s enough juice to get you moving. This is a reef break for advanced surfers only, and it can get a little crowded, so be ready to share the peak.

Saturday, July 25th, the swell drops a bit but the quality jumps. The morning is a touch smaller at 2 feet from the WSW, but with a very long period of 22 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy. The wind swings light offshore, making for some fun, lined-up waves. The afternoon really shines though – the swell bumps up to 3 feet from the SW, period stays long at 21 seconds, and the wind is still light offshore. The combined energy jumps to 821, which is a strong pulse. These are the best waves of the whole forecast. The water temp is about average for this time of year.

Sunday, July 26th, keeps the good vibes going through the morning. Waves are 3 feet from the SW, with a 20-second period and a light cross-offshore breeze. Clean, glassy conditions. The afternoon gets a little crossed up, but the morning is a winner.

Monday, July 27th, we’re still on a roll. Clean 3-foot swell from the SW with a 18-second period and light winds. The combined energy is still solid at 598. This is a great run of clean days.

Tuesday, July 28th, is the last of the quality. Morning waves are 3 feet from the SW, 16-second period, with a light cross-offshore breeze. The afternoon holds steady too with clean conditions. The combined energy stays moderate at 580 and 540.

Then the door slams shut. Starting Wednesday, July 29th, the wind turns onshore and stays that way for a solid week and a half. From Wednesday afternoon onward, it’s all onshore wind, with speeds up to 15 mph and 18 mph. The swell keeps coming, but it’s blown out, choppy, and ugly. We see a bit of a bump in size on August 2nd and 3rd, with waves up to 5 feet, but the wind is straight onshore, making it a complete mess. For a reef break, that’s just no good.

The only highlight is a few standouts in that first weekend. The Saturday, July 25th afternoon session is the pick of the lot.

Rusty.
