Boneyards Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking at Boneyards.

Right off the bat, the next few days are a write-off. We’ve got a solid 11.5 ft SW groundswell (13 sec) rolling in on Sunday morning, but the wind is a cross-off and it’s just messy. The wave energy is pumping hard at 3804, but the quality is not there. Sunday afternoon turns into a full-on mess with a 28 mph cross-onshore. Monday and Tuesday are no better—cross-onshore winds and choppy conditions. Wednesday the 12th drops to tiny, weak 2.6 ft swell with a crazy long 21 sec period, but it’s cross-onshore and lumpy. Not worth paddling out. Thursday the 13th morning has some clean-ish potential with a 4.9 ft SW groundswell (16 sec), but the wind is cross-onshore and it’s still marginal.

The first real standout is Saturday the 15th morning. We get a clean 6.6 ft easterly windswell (8 sec) with a moderate offshore breeze from the NW. It’s a short-period wave, so it’ll be a bit crumbly, but it’s clean and solid enough for an experienced surfer. The energy is moderate at 1410. The afternoon cleans up with a light cross-off and 3.6 ft SW swell, glassy and clean—good for a longer board.

Monday the 17th morning is the best of the quiet stuff. Glassy conditions with a 3.0 ft SW groundswell packing an 18 sec period. The energy is low at 788, but that long period means the waves will be lined up and smooth, perfect for a point break or reef setup like Boneyards. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Then, we start to see something brewing for Wednesday the 19th morning. A solid 8.2 ft SW swell (11 sec) with a clean cross-off breeze. The energy is strong at 1786. That’s a punchy wave, well overhead, and for experts only. The swell direction (SW) matches the optimum SE direction reasonably well for this exposed reef, so expect some nice, powerful lines. The crowd factor here is “sometimes,” so you might have company, but it won’t be a circus.

Thursday the 20th morning is still okay with 8.2 ft SW and a cross-off, but the wind picks up. Friday the 21st is another washout with strong cross-onshore winds.

Looking into the second week, the weekend of the 22nd and 23rd shows some potential with 6.6-8.2 ft SW groundswell and cross-off winds, but it’s less certain and the wind is strong. The energy stays high (around 3000) on the23rd. That’s a promising swell, but we’ll have to wait and see how the wind plays out.

For the absolute best on offer: Saturday the15th morning is the most accessible clean session with that offshore wind. For the real power and quality, Wednesday the19th morning is the standout—big, clean, and punchy, but only for the experienced crew.
