Boneyards Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Boneyards over the next couple of weeks.

Right, first things first. The next week or so is gonna be a real mixed bag, and honestly, a fair bit of frustration before we get to the good stuff. We've got a solid run of clean conditions heading into next week, but the standout, the one you gotta circle on the calendar, is shaping up to be that Monday the 6th of July.

Let's start with the here and now. We're looking at a period of funky, messy surf for the next few days. The wind is mostly cross or cross-on, which is just gonna make everything lumpy and choppy. Nothing to get excited about until the weekend finishes.

Then comes Monday morning, the 6th of July. This is the first real highlight. We're talking a clean 8ft SW swell rolling in, with light offshore winds from the ESE. The energy is solid, sitting at 1488 (moderate wave energy), and with that 11-second period, it's got some proper grunt. This is going to be excellent surf for experienced surfers, but at that size, it's pushing it for beginners. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing weird there.

Tuesday the 7th of July keeps the quality going. The morning looks absolutely glassy with a 6ft SW swell (1216 energy). That’s an easy one to get out for. The afternoons get a little side-shore, but still plenty rideable.

Fast forward a bit. We get a big pulse of energy around Wednesday the 15th of July with a whopping 13ft to 15ft WSW swell, and energy numbers over 7000. This is serious power. The wind is light, but it's cross or cross-on, which takes the shine off a bit. That size is strictly for experts only, and with a beach or reef setup, it might be more of a kite-surfing show than a paddle session for most of us.

Then, to finish the forecast window, we've got another top-notch window on Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th of July. Friday morning the 17th is glassy again with a 10ft SSW groundswell (3366 energy). That's a big, clean day for the experienced crew. By Saturday the 18th, the swell drops to a more manageable 6ft, still clean, and a great way to finish the run.

A word on Boneyards itself: it's an inconsistent reef break, so when it's on, it's special, but don't expect it to fire every day. When it does, especially with that SW groundswell and offshore winds, it can be a gem. Just be aware that the crowds can show up sometimes.

So, the takeaway: grit your teeth through the messy start to July. Your best bets are Monday the 6th, Tuesday the 7th, and then the glassy windows on Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th. The huge stuff mid-month is for the brave or the kite-foilers.

Rusty.
