The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, this time in feet and the old scale. Let’s break down Boneyards.
The first few days, you’ve got swell but not the right wind. On Tuesday the 8th, we’re seeing a big groundswell from the WSW, about 10ft at 17 seconds, with a very strong combined energy of (4852). But a 25 km/h cross-off wind keeps it from being perfect. It’s okay, but not the best of the run.
Your first real clean shot comes Thursday afternoon, the 10th of September. The swell drops to a more manageable 5ft from the WSW, still a nice 15-second period, and the wind goes totally glassy at 5 km/h from the north. The energy is moderate (1178), and the report says “expect very good surf conditions.” This is a great window for an intermediate surf.
But the session to really circle on your calendar is Monday afternoon, 14th of September. You’ve got a clean 8ft of swell from the WSW, a 14-second period, and a glassy 5 km/h wind from the NNW. The combined energy is strong at (2826), with a call for “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers.” That’s the pick of the forecast. The swell has some punch, and the conditions will be perfect. Be aware, crowds can happen here sometimes.
That quality continues into Tuesday morning, 15th of September, with a glassy 8ft wave from the same direction and calm winds. Another excellent call for the experienced crowd.
Later in the second week, it gets heavy. The 22nd has a 13ft swell but gets wrecked by 50 km/h winds. The long-range standout is Wednesday morning, 23rd of September, with an enormous 18ft WSW groundswell at 16 seconds. With a light 15 km/h cross-off wind from the ESE, the combined energy is exceptional (14602), and the report says “exceptional surf conditions for expert surfers.” That’s a beast of a day, but it’s over a week away, so keep it on the radar. Experts only.
So, the surf is there from the start, but you have to wait a few days for the wind to play nice. The absolute best for experienced surfers is Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th. The 23rd is a wild, heavy possibility.
Rusty.

Information about the Boneyards Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Boneyards provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Boneyards can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Boneyards 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 (Boneyards) 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 Boneyards 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.
