Boneyards Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, let's have a look at what's on the cards for Boneyards.

First up, we’ve got a good pulse of energy hitting this exposed reef right off the bat. The overall energy through the period is significant, with a massive combined swell energy of 1590 kicking things off on Sunday the 26th of July. That’s a solid 7 ft groundswell rolling in from the southwest with a nice 12-second period, and the cross-off breeze keeps it clean. This is serious, experienced surfer territory – not a spot for the faint-hearted. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year.

Sunday morning is the standout early call. It’s not huge by later standards, but the conditions are prime: clean, 7 ft, and that light cross-off wind is a dream. This is the pick of the first few days. The afternoon picks up a bit of breeze, so the early session is where it’s at.

From Monday the 27th, it really starts to pump, but the wind gets feisty. Swell jumps to 10 ft with a 17-second period on Monday morning – that’s a ton of water moving, but the wind is howling at 35 km/h. The combined energy hits a whopping 4948, but those conditions are only for the hardcore. Afternoon on Monday is a write-off with a near gale. Tuesday sees a big 8 ft swell and offshore winds, but they’re blowing a strong 40 km/h, making it a battle to get out. Clean but brutal.

Look, Wednesday the 29th offers another chance with a drop to 6 ft, clean, and only a slight breeze – a good window for the experienced crew to get some quality waves without fighting the wind. The rest of that week and into the start of August sees the swell hanging around 5 ft to 7 ft, but the winds are a bit mixed.

Now, the real standout window that has me talking comes at the very end of the period. Sunday the 2nd of August afternoon goes glassy, with a 8 ft, 17-second groundswell from the southwest. The energy is a huge 3198. This is the session to circle on the calendar – clean, powerful, and empty-feeling. This reef will be on, and it’ll be one of those rare moments where everything aligns. It’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it, but that’s the one.

After that, the swell stays solid into the second week, with a big 12 ft to 13 ft pulse around Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th, but the winds are cross-on for the bigger days, so it’ll be fattish. Monday the 10th of August morning goes absolutely glassy with a 10 ft swell and energy of 2752 – another late gem for the experienced crowd.

To sum it up: Sunday morning the 26th is your early best bet for clean, powerful waves. The absolute top shelf is Sunday afternoon the 2nd of August – glassy, solid, and just world-class conditions for the crew who know what they’re doing. Don’t miss that window.

Catch you in the lineup.

Rusty.
