Boneyards Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking straight at the charts for our local patch. We’ve got a solid window of surf coming up, but you’ve gotta pick your moments. The water is sitting at 58°F, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year, so grab a thicker suit.

The first real action is Thursday morning, September 3rd at Boneyards (reef). We’re looking at a clean 6ft swell from the WSW with a 13-second period, and a moderate offshore breeze. The water is a bit chilly, but the waves are packing some serious punch with a combined energy of 1410, and it’s proper surf for experienced surfers. The wind is going to make it glassy, and that swell direction is straight from the west, which is exactly what this spot likes. It’s a standout session for the week.

The wind gets nasty from Thursday afternoon all the way through Saturday, with near gale to gale force winds. The swell drops, and the conditions are blown out. You’ll be better off staying on the beach.

Sunday, September 6th is the next big call. The morning brings a beautiful 8ft SW groundswell with a very long 18-second period. The energy is massive at 3310, and we’ve got a moderate offshore breeze. This is the kind of long-period swell that will line up perfectly at a reef like Boneyards, offering long, powerful walls. It’s top-tier, top-to-bottom surfing for anyone who knows what they’re doing. The afternoon holds at 7ft with a clean cross-offshore breeze.

Monday and Tuesday look a bit messy with cross-onshore winds and question marks, but on Tuesday morning, September 8th, the conditions turn glassy. The swell is a smaller 5ft from the SW, but with a 12-second period and zero wind, it’ll be a fun, clean session for intermediate surfers. The energy is moderate at 678, but it’s a nice change of pace.

After a lull in the middle of the week, we get a pulse on Sunday, September 13th. The morning brings 7ft of SW groundswell with a 13-second period and a moderate offshore wind. The energy is back up to 1457, and it’s excellent for experienced surfers again. The wind stays strong on the backside of this one.

The final stand-out window is Tuesday, September 15th through Wednesday, September 16th. We’ve got solid SW groundswell in the 7ft to 8ft range with 14-15 second periods. The winds are clean cross-offshore, and the energy is well into the thousands (1336-2490). The waves will be big and powerful, best for the experts.

Then, a monster shows up on the long-range charts. Thursday, September 17th has a massive 12ft to 21ft WSW groundswell with a 17 to 19-second period. The energy is off the charts – 8895 in the morning, and a staggering 26745 in the afternoon. The wind is clean cross-offshore, but the swell is too big for this break. The forecast says it’s predicted to be too big. Friday, September 18th, is even bigger and totally blown out by near gale-force winds. That’s a one-way ticket to a washing machine.

Overall, the best on offer is Sunday morning, September 6th for the perfect combination of size, power, and offshore wind. The Thursday morning, September 3rd session is a close second for the clean, moderate swell. Get on it.

Rusty.
