Fish Boma Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about the waves on offer.

We’ve got one spot on the radar for the next couple of weeks, and it’s a solid little reef setup that’s going to pump. The action kicks off on Monday, July 20th, and the first week is loaded with promising sessions, especially for those who know what they’re doing.

Fish Boma is a reef break that’s exposed to the swell, so it lights up with a decent southerly push. The water temp is sitting at 64°, which is basically average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there. The first session on Monday morning is a beauty: clean 6ft swell from the SW with a solid 11-second period, and glassy offshore winds from the west. The combined energy is pumping at 1127, so you’ll feel the power. This is a good one for experienced surfers, as the size is right in that sweet spot. Monday afternoon drops a bit to 4ft, but the period stretches to 12 seconds and it’s still glassy—perfect for a longboard or a fun fish.

Tuesday morning, July 21st, is the standout of the early week. We’re looking at 7ft of SSW swell with a 14-second period, and it’s dead calm—zero wind, glassy as a mirror. The combined energy is a meaty 1949, and the conditions are clean. This is the best you’ll see for a while, so if you can get out, do it. Tuesday afternoon gets a bit bigger at 8ft, but the wind goes cross-shore, so it’s a bit choppier. Still, for the confident surfer, it’s worth a look.

Wednesday and Thursday are messy with cross-onshore winds and choppy conditions. The swell stays around 7ft to 10ft, but the wind ruins it. Not ideal for a clean session.

Then we hit Friday, July 24th. The morning is a monster. The swell jumps to 12ft from the SSW with a 16-second period, and the combined energy is a massive 6659. The wind is light and cross-offshore, keeping it clean. This is exceptional, but it’s only for experts. The raw power and size will be too much for most. Friday afternoon stays big but gets cross-shore, so it’s less clean.

Saturday morning, July 25th, is another cracker. We’ve got 8ft SSW swell, a 14-second period, and glassy conditions. Combined energy is 2401. This is excellent for experienced surfers. Sunday, July 26th, is also clean with a 7ft SW swell and offshore winds in the morning, then glassy in the afternoon. Great consistency.

The second week gets a bit more mixed. From Monday, July 27th, through to the end of the month, the wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, and the surf quality drops. There are some cleaner windows on Thursday, July 30th, with a 6ft SW swell and cross-offshore winds, but it’s not as punchy. The big swells return at the end of the month—Friday, July 31st, has an 12ft swell with a short 10-second period, which is a bit junky, but the energy is high at 3299. The first few days of August look messy with onshore winds and rain, so not worth chasing.

If you’re looking for the best, lock in Tuesday morning, July 21st (7ft SSW, 14-sec, glassy, 1949 combined energy) and Friday morning, July 24th (12ft SSW, 16-sec, clean, 6659 combined energy). The first one is the top pick for a clean, powerful session without the extreme size. The second is for the big-wave crew only.
