Boneyards Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for the next couple of weeks at Boneyards. This is a heavy, exposed reef, so it’s strictly for the advanced crew. No messing around.

We’re kicking off with a bit of a slow start. Sunday the 12th has some swell, but the wind is a cross-on mess and the water is a bit colder than normal at 64°, so I’d sit that one out. Monday the 13th is still a bit weak and choppy, nothing to get excited about.

Things start to turn around Tuesday morning the 14th. The wind drops to glassy, and we’ve got a clean 5ft from the ESE. It’s not huge, but it’s clean, and that’s a beautiful thing. The combined energy is moderate (545). The next few days are a mix of clean small surf, good for a fun session, but nothing to write home about.

Thursday the 16th is the first real standout. Morning glass, and we’re looking at a solid 10ft SW groundswell (14-second period) with a massive combined energy of 3001. That’s strong, powerful, and for experts only. The afternoon stays clean too. This is a serious session.

The swell hangs around for Friday the 17th, with another 10ft morning, though the wind picks up a bit. The afternoon goes glassy again with 8ft, so you’ve got a solid window of heavy, clean surf.

We get a bit of a chop-fest on Saturday the 18th, so I’d give that a miss. Sunday the 19th cleans up nicely with light winds and consistent 4ft – a great day for a more relaxed session.

Now, looking further out, the end of the week starting Wednesday the 22nd brings another huge pulse. Morning glass with 10ft SSW swell, a 14-second period, and a combined energy of 3883. That’s not just a surf; that’s a statement. This is a top-tier day for the experts.

Thursday the 23rd keeps the momentum with clean offshore winds and 7ft. Then Friday the 24th of July – this one is a monster. We’re looking at a massive 15ft SW swell, with a period of 14 seconds and combined energy over 9000. That’s a heavy, heavy ocean. It’s only for the most experienced, and the wind isn’t perfect, but the power is undeniable.

The best of the bunch, though, is Saturday the 25th of July. Morning glass-off conditions with a 13ft SW groundswell (15-second period) and a combined energy of 6179. The afternoon goes glassy too. This is the pick of the entire forecast – a true, world-class day at Boneyards for those who can handle it. Sunday the 26th is still excellent, with glassy 12ft surf in the morning.

So, there’s a bit of a wait for the really good stuff, but once it arrives, it’s a solid run of heavy, clean, powerful waves. Keep your eyes on the 16th, and definitely on the 25th for the standout.

Rusty.
