Boneyards Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab your board and let’s get into it. The next couple of weeks are a mixed bag, but there’s definitely some serious juice coming through if you pick your moments.

We start things off on Monday the 3rd with Boneyards (West Coast) showing a clean 4ft of WSW swell. The energy is moderate at 964, and with a light cross-offshore breeze, it’s looking like a nice, clean session to ease into the week. Water temp is sitting around 59°, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year, nothing weird there.

Tuesday the 4th sees the swell holding around 4-5ft, and the morning is pure magic – glassy conditions with zero wind. It doesn't get much better than that for a smooth, clean ride. The energy has dropped off a bit, but for a well-shaped reef break, it's still a solid session.

Now, here's where things get interesting. Wednesday the 5th is a write-off. The wind swings onshore and gets fresh, and the swell jumps to 8-8ft, but it's lumpy and messy. You don't want any part of that.

But hold on. Thursday the 6th is the first real standout. The swell builds to a solid 12ft with a long 13-second period, and the energy is pumping hard at 3853. The offshore wind is gentle, making for some excellent, powerful waves. This is for experienced surfers, no doubt; it's a big day, but if you know what you're doing, it's going to be firing.

Friday the 7th keeps the size up at 12ft, and the afternoon is the pick of the day. The wind goes offshore again, and the energy jumps to a massive 5161. This is the biggest, cleanest swell of the week, an exceptional day for experts. Saturday the 8th drops off a bit to 8ft and gets a bit messy with onshore winds, so it's a day to be picky.

The early part of next week looks rough. Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th get blown out by strong, near-gale winds and some huge swell – that’s 18ft on Monday morning, which is just a beast. Not for paddling, that's for sure. The swell then collapses on Tuesday, we’re talking about a tiny 1ft with a weird 26-second period, so the ocean goes flat for a couple of days.

But don't worry, it comes back. Wednesday the 12th sees a nice, glassy morning with a clean 7ft of long-period WSW swell, energy at 3357. That’s a great day for a proper paddle out. The next few days, from the 13th to the 16th, are consistent with 7-8ft waves, but the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, keeping it a bit lumpy and choppy. There are waves, but it won't be perfect.

Then we get to the second week's standout. Monday the 17th is, again, clean but the wind is up. The real gem is Tuesday the 18th. The wind drops to glassy for the morning session with a solid 13ft of SW groundswell, energy maxing out at 5512. This is another one for the experienced crew, but the potential is off the charts. The afternoon looks a bit more crossed-up but still big at 15ft.

So, if you're picking your battles, Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th are the first call, and that Tuesday the 18th is the long-range one to keep an eye on. It's a promise right now, but the signals are all there for a serious day.

Anyway, that’s the look. Stay safe out there.
