Boneyards Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let's get into it. The start of this forecast is a bit of a tease, but there's some real potential building if you're keen to wait it out.

Thursday the 10th kicks off with some weak, crossed-up energy. It's a bit of a mess, with a moderate breeze and nothing that's going to have you racing for your board. Not worth the paddle.

Friday the 11th is where it's at. The morning is dead glassy with a light offshore touch. We've got a solid 6ft of SW swell at a nice, long 13-second period. This is proper, clean, lined-up surf. The energy is moderate, but it feels right. This is the standout of the first few days. Don't sleep on it.

The weekend is a total loss. Saturday gets onshore and choppy, and Sunday brings a bigger swell but with strong onshore winds and rain. It's a messy, blown-out nightmare. Forget it.

Monday the 14th eases off in quality, with a lot of energy but cross-onshore winds keeping it lumpy. The swell is still big at 12ft in the morning, but it's not clean. Tuesday the 15th, though, is another winner. The morning is clear with glassy conditions and a fun 5ft of easterly swell at 11 seconds. It'll be clean and playful. That's a solid option.

The middle of the week turns ugly again. Wednesday the 16th gets blown out with a strong cross-shore and a massive, messy 12ft swell. That's expert territory with horrendous conditions. The rest of that week is plagued by onshore winds and junky, short-period swell.

Looking further out, the following week is unpredictable. There are flashes of something, but nothing consistent. The 20th has some cleaner cross-off winds with a solid SW swell in the afternoon (7ft at 18 seconds), but the morning is windier. That long period could make it a bit walled at a beach break, but Boneyards is a reef, so it should handle it better. The energy is strong.

After that, it's mostly a story of onshore winds and chop. The final few days of the window are flat-out poor, with strong cross-onshores and deteriorating conditions. No reason to even look at the ocean.

So, to wrap it up: Friday the 11th and Tuesday the 15th are your go-to days. They're the best for clean, quality surf. The 20th is a promising long-shot, but it's a week out, so don't bank on it. Otherwise, it's a waiting game.

Rusty out.
