Boilers Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

We’re starting off with a bit of a slow burner, but there’s some real quality hidden in this forecast for Boilers, a reef break that’s about as consistent as they come. The first decent window kicks off on Monday morning, the 31st of August. It’s not huge, but the glassy conditions are a major positive. You’ll find a clean 6ft swell from the NNW, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 339. It’s not the biggest, but with the wind dead flat, it’s a great way to start the week.

Tuesday the 1st of September looks better. The morning session is where it’s at. The swell pushes up to 7ft from the NNW, still with that 8-second period, and the wind is light and cross-offshore. The energy jumps to a solid 574 (moderate). It’s going to be clean and punchy, and this is one of the true standouts of the period. Wednesday morning, the 2nd, is also a beauty – 7ft, same direction, light cross-off breeze, and energy at 699. That’s a very good, clean morning.

Things start to fade after that. Thursday and Friday see the swell drop, and the wind turns onshore or cross-shore, so the quality dives. We’ve got a few days of small, ordinary surf through the weekend and into early next week. The energy dips into the double digits – weak stuff.

Then, we get a second wave of energy. Monday the 7th of September has a notable 3ft swell from the NW, but with a long period of 12 seconds. That’s groundswell, and it’s got energy at 386 (moderate), but the wind is cross-shore, so it’s a bit messy. The real standout second week is Wednesday the 9th of September. The morning is absolutely glassy – no wind at all. Swell is a clean 6ft from the NNW, with a period of 7 seconds. Energy is at 624. That’s going to be a magic morning, smooth and lined up.

The following weekend, look at Sunday the 13th of September. The morning is glassy again, with a solid 8ft from the NNW, period of 7 seconds, and energy at 610. That’s a strong, clean option. Be aware, though, that in the afternoon the onshore picks up and the swell tops 10ft – that’s expert territory and messy.

The very end of the run, on Tuesday the 15th of September, gives us a nice little morning glass-off with 4ft from the NW and a period of 10 seconds. Energy is moderate at 294. It’s a nice, clean finish.

Overall, if you’re after the best, hit Tuesday morning the 1st of September, or Wednesday morning the 9th of September. Those are the gold. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.

Rusty.
