Boneyards Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here, with a look at the only game in town for the next couple of weeks. We're dialed in on one spot and one spot only, so let's get into it.

The pattern kicks off with a bit of a wait. The first surf we’re looking at is from Monday, the 10th of August. The early part of the week is pretty average, with a strong cross-off wind making things a bit of a mission. We’re looking at a 7ft southerly swell with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined energy is strong at 1565. It's not the best start. Afternoon looks cleaner with a proper offshore wind, but it's still a bit on the messy side.

Things really start to turn around come Tuesday the 11th and especially Wednesday the 12th. Wednesday morning is the standout of the whole period. You’ve got a solid 6ft swell from the southwest, but the magic is in the period – 18 seconds! That’s proper groundswell, packing a heap of punch with the combined energy at 2546. The wind is light offshore from the east, so it’ll be glassy and clean. This is for the experienced crew, as it’s going to have some serious power and those long lines will be running hard at Boneyards.

Thursday the 13th is also a ripper, with the swell bumping up to 8ft from the southwest, and the energy cranking up to 3782. It’s big and powerful, expert territory for sure, but the cross-off wind from the north-east keeps it clean. The period is a very long 17 seconds, so it’ll be well-shaped but expect those long waits between sets.

We see a bit of a drop-off into the weekend, with the wind turning onshore and making things choppy for Saturday the 15th. But by Monday the 17th, the swell is back up to 10ft from the west-southwest. It's big, and with a fresh offshore wind, it'll be clean, but that size is for the brave. The following Tuesday the 18th is a real treat – absolutely glassy conditions with no wind and a 7ft southwest swell. That is as good as it gets for a clean session.

Later in the period, around Sunday the 23rd of August, we see another pulse of serious size, with an 12ft swell from the south-southwest and an incredible combined energy of 5809. That's a beast. It's clean with a cross-off wind, but again, that is for experts only. The forecast is less certain that far out, but it’s one to keep an eye on.

Overall, the best bet on offer is the Wednesday the 12th of August session. The combination of a long-period 6ft southwest groundswell and light offshore winds will deliver some of the cleanest, most powerful waves we'll see. Get on it.
