Boneyards Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let's get down to it. The start of this stretch is pretty average, but there's a solid pulse of west swell that's going to turn things on for a window around Friday. We're looking at a proper long-period groundswell, and the winds are going to line up for some seriously clean surf. It won't last long, so you'll want to be in the water when it's good.

Right now, through Thursday, it's a bit of a mess. The swell is showing, but a fresh cross-onshore breeze is wrecking the surface. The wave energy is moderate, right around 2767, but it's not doing anyone any favors. Don't bother paddling out until it cleans up.

Now, Friday. That's your day. Swell is pushing 12ft with a period of 14-15 seconds, and the energy is cranking – we're talking 5090 to 5454. That's strong, powerful stuff. The wind is offshore, too. This is the one to circle. It's going to be big, and it's going to be clean. This is expert territory, for sure. The swell is from the SW, which is exactly what this place likes. This is the best on offer, without a doubt.

Saturday sees the swell ease back a bit, but it's still solid. The morning is a bit smaller, but the afternoon kicks back up to 12ft with a 14-second period. The wind is light but onshore, so it won't be as perfect as Friday. It's still a good option, but you're chasing the quality.

Sunday is a washout. The wind is going to be howling from the SSE at 28-31 mph. The swell is still there, but it's going to be a battle. This looks more like a kite-surfing day than a paddle-surfing day. Save your energy.

Monday drops right off. The swell is tiny, around 4 to 5ft, and while the wind is offshore, it's strong at 28 mph. That's going to make it tough to get into anything. It's clean, but it's a fight.

The middle of next week sees the swell bounce back into that 5ft to 7ft range, with those long 16-18 second periods. The energy is moderate, and the winds are light and variable, with some clean windows. The 12th and 13th look like the better days here, with a mix of cross-offshore winds and clean conditions. It's not as big as Friday, but it's still fun.

The weekend after that, the 15th and 16th, looks small but glassy. The swell is around 5ft, but the wind is dead – glassy conditions. That's a great time for a longboard or a fish. It's all about the clean surface.

Then it gets a bit scrappy again from the 17th onwards. The swell is inconsistent, and the winds turn onshore or cross-onshore more often. The 19th has some size at 8ft to 8ft, but the wind is cross, which will chop it up.

So, the real standout is Friday the 7th. That’s the day. Big, clean, and powerful. The 12th and 13th are your next best bet for some quality. The rest is a mix of waiting for the wind to play nice.

Rusty.
