The Lowdown

Alright, let's get into it. The next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag, but there’s definitely some serious size and clean conditions on the horizon if you’re willing to wait. Right now, the ocean’s pretty lackluster, but it builds into a solid run of bigger, cleaner surf. We’re looking at a window that starts slow, gets real interesting around the 10th, and then just goes off for a couple of days before settling back down.

The early part of the period is nothing to write home about. Wednesday afternoon the 5th is a write-off – small 2ft southwest swell with a cross-shore wind and some chop. The energy is weak (421), and the water’s sitting at 56.1°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year. Not much to get excited about.

Thursday the 6th turns a bit cleaner with a light offshore in the morning, but the swell is still tiny at 2ft. It’s surfable, but honestly, you’re just getting wet. The wind goes moderate offshore in the afternoon, but the wave quality is still very average.

Friday the 7th is where things start to perk up. The swell bumps to 3.6ft with a clean, light offshore breeze in the morning and near-glass in the afternoon. The energy is building (567 and 623), and the waves are starting to shape up. This is the first real taste of what’s to come.

Saturday the 8th holds that 3.2ft southwest swell, but the wind is a bit stronger and more cross-off. It’s clean-ish, but the tides might be messing with it. Still, it’s a decent day if you’re jonesing.

Sunday the 9th is a step back. The swell drops to 2.3ft, and a fresh cross-off breeze makes things tricky. The energy is weak (205), and it’s just not a good look. I’d give it a miss.

Now, here’s where the real story starts. Monday the 10th, the swell jumps up to 4.3ft in the morning with a 19-second period. The energy is suddenly strong (1887). The wind is cross-off, but it’s clean. This is a significant groundswell. By the afternoon, it’s doubled to 8.2ft, but the period drops to 10 seconds, which makes it a bit more closed-out and less organized. That’s a beast of a wave for the afternoon, but it might be a bit unruly.

Tuesday the 11th backs off a little to 3.6ft, but it’s got that long 15-second period and a solid offshore wind. The energy is moderate (506), and the surf is clean. A good, solid day.

Wednesday the 12th is when things get serious. The morning sees 6.2ft with an 18-second period, and the energy is cranking (2268). It’s a big, powerful groundswell. The afternoon gets even bigger at 8.2ft, with a strong energy reading of 3233. This is expert territory. The wind is offshore, but the size is pushing it.

And then… Thursday the 13th. This is the one. The morning brings a massive 19.7ft southwest groundswell with a 17-second period. The energy reading is off the charts at 27809. That is a huge, powerful, unmanageable swell for this break. It’s way too big, even for the experts. The wind is light and favorable, but you'd be crazy to paddle out. The afternoon is still huge at 11.5ft, but it's more manageable. The energy is still massive (6653), and the conditions are clean. This is a day for the seasoned crew only. This is the standout, no question. The sheer size and power of that morning swell is something else.

Friday the 14th is still solid, with 7.9ft in the morning and 6.2ft in the afternoon, both with good 16-second periods. The energy is strong (3047 and 2472), and it’s clean with a light cross-off. This is still big, powerful surf, but it’s a step down from the day before.

Saturday the 15th is another excellent day. The swell is consistent at 7.2ft, and the period is long. The morning has a light breeze, but the afternoon is absolutely glassy. The energy is strong (3359 and 2873). This is a fantastic day for experienced surfers. The glassy conditions are a massive bonus.

Sunday the 16th is still pumping, with 4.9ft and that hallmark 15-second period. The morning is flat calm and glassy with zero wind. This is about as perfect as it gets for a solid, clean day. The afternoon gets a bit of a cross-on breeze and the quality drops off.

After that, the swell starts to fade. Monday the 17th down to under 3ft, still clean but small. Tuesday the 18th bumps back up a bit to 3.6ft and 4.3ft, but the energy is moderate. The period is long, but

Information about the Boobs Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Boobs provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Boobs can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Boobs surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Boobs) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Boobs may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
