Bunkers Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it.

First things first, to be straight with you, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty average for Bunkers. We’ve got a long stretch where conditions just aren’t coming together. I’ll walk you through the best bits, but don’t expect a classic run.

This whole 16-day window is a grind. There are no true standouts. The first real chance to even think about a paddle isn’t until Thursday the 10th, and that’s just marginal. Before that, it’s all poor surf with cross-onshore wind and messy, weak waves. We’re talking about several days with nothing worth chasing.

Let’s look at the better moments. On Monday the 14th morning, we get the closest to something workable. There’s a clean offshore wind from the NW, at 6 mph. Swell is 6 ft from the NW, with a period of 8 seconds. The wave energy is moderate, around 636. It’s still just a two-star rating for difficulty, so not a barnburner, but the glassy morning makes it the cleanest option in the whole outlook. Expect a few others out there, as crowds are sometimes an issue.

After that, things fade again. The second week has a few moments, like Wednesday the 16th morning, with a sneaky 1 ft SSW groundswell at a very long 19 seconds, but it’s cloudy and light wind. That one is for the patient surfer on a point or reef, not the beach break. The energy is weak (289), and the small size won’t excite anyone. Later on, the 18th has another dose of that long period 2 ft SSW swell, with a period of 19 seconds, but the cross-onshore breeze churns it up.

For the rest of the run, we’re looking at cross-onshore breezes, moderate wave energy, and no real quality. If you’re a kite surfer, the stronger afternoon winds on Wednesday the 11th and Saturday the 12th, with swell over 5 ft, could be more interesting than a paddle session.

So, the best of a bad bunch is definitely the Monday the 14th morning session. It’s not epic, but it’s clean, and you won’t have to fight a crowd too hard.
