Boneyards Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, rust and dust, let's talk about what's cookin' at Boneyards. This is a reef break, and it's an inconsistent one, so when it talks, you listen. It's an exposed spot that loves a good W swell.

Right off the bat, the water is a bit nippy for the time of year, sittin' at 58° with a water temp anomaly that's over two degrees colder than normal. It's a bit more of a wetsuit situation than a boardies affair.

The first real chance to get wet kicks off on Monday the 10th, but it's a tough one. We've got a solid 7ft swell from the south, but that wind is a strong SE breeze, and it's a cross-off. It's gonna be a battle to get out, and the conditions are questionable. The wave energy is massive, though, registering strong at 1626. The afternoon cleans up with a strong offshore, but the swell drops to 4ft and it's hard to paddle into. Not the best start.

Tuesday the 11th is a bit of a tease. The morning has a fresh offshore wind with a 6ft SSW swell, but it's still a mixed bag. The afternoon drops to a tiny 2ft, but the period is a massive 24 seconds. That's a super long period groundswell, which can be too straight for a reef, but the energy is still there. It's a waiting game.

Now, Wednesday the 12th is the first real standout. This is the session to circle. The morning is clean with a light ENE breeze, and we're looking at a solid 6ft SW swell with a 18-second period. The energy is huge, spiking to 2452. The afternoon is even better: a gentle offshore breeze from the SE, with a 7ft SW swell. This is clean, powerful, and built for experienced surfers. The crowd profile says "sometimes," so you might have a few mates out, but it's worth it.

Thursday the 13th gets a bit messy. The swell is up to 8ft, but the wind swings cross-shore, making it choppy. The energy is off the charts at 3797, but the quality drops. Friday the 14th is a mixed bag, but the afternoon is a hidden gem. The wind goes glassy with an easterly light air, and the 7ft WSW swell is clean. That's a good one.

Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th are a write-off with cross-onshore winds and lumpy conditions. The swell is there, but it's not worth the paddle.

Then we hit Monday the 17th. This is the big one. The morning has a 10ft WSW swell with a gentle offshore from the ESE. The energy is a massive 4462. The afternoon is even better: glassy conditions with a 10ft swell. This is a dream for experts, but if you're a beginner, 10ft is too big. This is the best session on offer.

After that, Tuesday the 18th and Wednesday the 19th are blown out. The wind is a near gale on Wednesday, making it impossible. Thursday the 20th is a return to form with a clean 7ft SW swell and a gentle offshore.

The last week gets a bit murky. There's a pulse on Saturday the 22nd with an 8ft WSW swell and a long period, but it's cross-shore, so not perfect. Sunday the 23rd has a 10ft swell in the afternoon with a clean cross-off wind, but it's a late call. The final days of the 24th and 25th are mostly chopped out or blown out.

So, the standout is without a doubt Monday the 17th with that glassy 10ft swell. For a close second, Wednesday the 12th is your best bet for that long, clean groundswell. This spot is inconsistent, so when it's on, you gotta be on it.

Rusty.
