Boneyards Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming up for Boneyards. It's a reef break for the advanced crew, so we're talking proper waves.

We're looking at a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks. The start is a write-off, but there are some real gems tucked in there for those who know what they're doing. The water temp is about average for this time of year.

Sunday the 6th is a total no-go. Strong onshore winds and a huge, messy 12ft swell. The energy is off the charts (7789), but the conditions are just poor. Forget about it.

Monday the 7th is still a bit rough with cross-onshore winds, but the swell drops a bit to 8ft in the morning. Still, it's a marginal forecast.

Tuesday morning, 8th September, is the first real standout. We get a glassy morning with a slight air, and the swell settles to 4ft from the SW. That's a long-period groundswell at 13 seconds, which is perfect for a reef like this. The energy is moderate (1068), and the conditions are labeled as excellent for experienced surfers. This is the window to be in the water. The wind is off, the waves will have shape, and it's a proper session on offer.

The rest of the week is a bit of a mixed bag. Wednesday the 9th has a clean morning with 2ft from the NW, but it's small. The real action picks up again around the weekend. Saturday the 12th afternoon sees a 8ft swell from the SSW with a 16-second period, light cross-shore winds, and a score that suggests it's worth a look.

Sunday the 13th is another absolute cracker. The afternoon session has a solid 10ft SW groundswell, clean cross-off winds from the WSW, and excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers. The energy is strong (3686). This is a big, powerful swell hitting the reef in clean conditions. It's going to be a serious session for the crew that can handle it, but you'll want to be aware of the crowds—they can be a factor here.

The following week starts strong. Tuesday the 15th morning is a special one – glassy, with a 10ft SW swell. This is a big, clean, powerful day. It's a major highlight.

The swell gets massive from the 16th onwards, with 13ft+ on the 16th, but the wind is strong. Wednesday the 16th has a 13ft SW swell with a long 15-second period and a cross-off breeze, but the wind is a strong breeze (40-45 km/h). The energy is very strong (6184), but it's for experts only, and even then, the wind makes it a handful. The 18th Friday afternoon looks good again with a 8ft SSW swell and glassy conditions, which is a nice way to finish the working week.

The last couple of days of the forecast (20th and 21st) see the swell drop right off, with the 21st having tiny 2ft waves from the east and very weak energy (63), so the run ends small.
