Boilers Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright mates, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the same picture in feet and Fahrenheit.

We’re looking at Boilers, a solid reef, and it’s the only spot worth talking about. The pattern is a bit of a mixed bag—there’s a steady push of swell, but the wind is going to be a pain for the bulk of it. Water temp is about normal for the season, so don’t expect any surprises.

The first few days are a dud. From Monday the 3rd through Thursday the 6th, it’s all cross-shore wind and lumpy chop. The swell is there, running 5ft to 8ft from the NNW, but it’s a blown-out mess. The combined energy is moderate to strong (255 to 918), but with that wind, it’s a total loss.

Friday the 7th morning is the first real highlight. Clean conditions, a light cross-offshore breeze out of the SSE, and a solid 7ft NNW swell. The combined energy is a solid 505 (moderate), and the period is short at 7 seconds, so it’s a bit of a windswell feel, but it’s clean. That’s the standout for the first week—a proper session for the experts.

Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th mornings are also worth a look. Saturday morning is glassy, with a 5 km/h west wind and 6ft swell (combined energy 397 – moderate). Sunday morning is glassy too, with a 5 km/h north wind and 5ft swell (combined energy 302 – moderate). Clean, but smaller.

After that, it’s messy again until Tuesday the 11th morning. That session is glassy with a 5 km/h north wind and 5ft swell (combined energy 235 – weak). Wednesday the 12th morning is also glassy, with a dead calm and 5ft swell (combined energy 280 – moderate). Good for a clean, limp session.

The second week is a gamble. From the 13th onward, there’s a persistent 7ft to 8ft NNW swell, but the wind is cross-shore or onshore for most of it. The mornings on the 14th, 15th, and 16th are marginal, with the 15th afternoon holding 8ft swell (combined energy 735 – strong) but a moderate cross-shore, so it’s lumpy. The only real standout in the second week is the morning of the 18th – a much smaller 4ft swell (combined energy 110 – weak) but clean with a cross-offshore breeze. A tiny, clean window.

So, the call is: lock in Friday the 7th morning for the best size and conditions, then hit the glassy mornings on the 8th, 9th, and 11th. After that, it’s a crapshoot. The swell is there, but you’ll need to be picky.

Rusty.
