The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. Gotta be honest, looking at the next 16 days for Boiler Bay, it’s a tough watch. This is a reef break that needs a very specific SW swell and clean conditions, and we’re just not getting a consistent run of that. The water is running way colder than normal for this time of year, with a reading of 51°F and a huge anomaly of 7°F below normal, so that’s some proper winter water in the middle of July.
The first few days are a write-off. The swell is tiny and weak, with a combined energy of just 285 on Tuesday the 14th, and it’s all cross-onshore making it choppy and messy.
We finally get a tiny window of hope on Thursday morning the 16th. The wind goes light and cross-off from the SW, which cleans up the 2ft swell. The wave energy is moderate (436), but it’s a long period 19-second groundswell from the WNW, so it’ll have some push but might be a bit wobbly on a reef. It’s the best we’ve got for a paddle, but it’s marginal.
The following week is a grind. Swell picks up a bit, with heights around 5ft to 7ft coming from the NW on Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th. The energy gets up there (955 on Saturday morning), but the wind is howling onshore from the NNW at 12-15 mph. That’s a mess. The period is a short 8 seconds, so it’s just wind-slop.
The real standout, if you can wait, is on Friday morning, July 24th. The wind goes light and cross-off from the WSW, cleaning up a 4ft NW swell. The energy is solid (507), and the conditions are described as clean. It’s not a monster, but after two weeks of poor looks, that morning is the one to circle. The swell direction is NW, which isn’t the optimum SW for the reef, but with clean conditions, it’s the best on offer.
The very end of the window, Saturday the 25th, has a tiny 1ft WSW swell with a very long 23-second period, but the wind is cross-shore and the energy is moderate. It’s a bit of a tease.
Boiler Bay is a fickle spot. It’s fairly consistent for swell, but the conditions rarely line up. Given the wind pattern, a lot of these days will be more suited to a kite than a surfboard. Hang tight for that Friday the 24th.
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.
