Boneyards Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. The next couple weeks are a mixed bag, gotta be honest. There’s some flat, messy stretches, but there are some proper standouts in there if you can wait it out.

It all kicks off pretty poorly on Friday the 14th. Boneyards is all chopped up with a cross-onshore breeze, just ugly. No point even paddling out. The water’s a touch colder than usual, about 57° Fahrenheit, so you'll want a bit of rubber.

Then Saturday the 15th comes in and saves the day. The wind goes glassy in the morning. We got a clean 6-foot swell from the WSW. It’s that perfect, clean morning you dream about. The energy’s solid, and the afternoon cleans up even more with a cross-off breeze and the swell pushing a bit over 6-foot. This is the pick of the first week, hands down.

Sunday the 16th the wind swings onshore and ruins it. It’s choppy and messy. Monday the 17th might offer a clean afternoon session with a cross-off wind and 8-foot surf, but the morning is rough. Tuesday the 18th is another solid one with a proper offshore wind and clean, 6-foot surf. It’s still only for the experienced crowd.

Wednesday the 19th and Thursday the 20th are both marginal, with the swell dropping and the winds being average. Friday the 21st looks grim again with a strong onshore blow.

But folks, hold on. Saturday the 22nd is a monster. A massive, long-period SW groundswell rolls in. We're talking 16-foot surf in the morning, an 16-second period, and the energy readings are astronomical. It's a clean day with a cross-off wind, but this is huge and dangerous. Strictly for experts only. This is the big one of the whole outlook. Sunday the 23rd is still huge, holding 15-foot surf, but with more wind on it. Still no place for the faint of heart.

The following week sees it all slowly settle but stay fun. Monday and Tuesday are still big and clean-ish, but with strong winds. Then Wednesday the 26th is another gem. Light offshore winds and a clean 10-foot day in the morning, and a great afternoon with 8-foot surf. It’s another standout for the experienced surfer. Thursday the 27th is a write-off with onshore winds.

Finally, Saturday the 29th brings it all down to a more manageable size. A bit over 6-foot of WSW swell with a decent offshore wind. It looks clean and more user-friendly.

So the long and short of it: for the serious, expert surfer, Saturday the 22nd is the big one, but it's a wild beast. For a challenging but cleaner session, the 26th is your best bet. And for those wanting something smaller and clean, Saturday the 15th is fantastic. Just be prepared for some rubbish days in between, that's just Boneyards for you. Inconsistent spot, but when it fires, it fires.
