Fish Boma Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Grab a coffee, we've got a good look at the next couple of weeks at Fish Boma. It's a reef break, exposed to the south swell, and it's fairly consistent—so there’s nearly always something to chase. We’re starting off Monday the 27th, but don’t get too excited early on.

The first few days are a bit of a write-off for quality surfing. Monday the 27th has a solid 8 ft SW swell, but with cross and cross-onshore winds making things choppy and messy. The wave energy is strong (2125), but it’s not clean—this is more for the die-hards or the kite crew. It stays average through Tuesday, even with a clean texture in the morning the 8 ft swell is messy by afternoon with a cross-chop.

Wednesday the 29th is where it starts to turn. Morning has clean conditions with a 6 ft SW swell at 13 seconds, offshore wind, and that energy still packs a punch (1598). It’s clean, but the swell size is getting into that intermediate+ territory. This is a good session for solid riders.

Thursday the 30th is the first standout. Morning conditions are glassy with clean 6 ft SSW groundswell, period a nice long 13 seconds, and no wind. The wave energy is moderate (1143) but it’s going to be really clean and lined up on the reef. This is classic Fish Boma—quiet crowd potential here, since it’s sometimes busy. Don’t sleep on this session.

Friday the 31st eases up a little—smaller 4 ft SSW swell in the morning, clean with offshore winds, and energy still decent (833). Not massive but a good fun wave.

Now, Sunday August 2nd—that’s another big highlight. Sunday morning is glassy with a 6 ft SSW groundswell, period way up to 18 seconds, and wave energy very strong at 2558. That's proper groundswell, so expect power and good shape on the reef. But the standout is Sunday afternoon: 7 ft SSW swell, glassy conditions, and energy hitting 3148. That’s an exceptional session—for experienced surfers only at this size and with that long period. Still a chance of a few heads out there, but it’s worth it.

The first full week of August looks promising, but August 6th and 7th are the next real standouts. Thursday August 6th morning gets a glassy 8 ft SW groundswell at 15 seconds, with 2951 energy. That’s a powerful, clean session. Then Thursday afternoon sees the swell bump up to 10 ft SW, same long period, winds offshore, energy 3406. This is heavy—experts only, but it’s absolutely firing. Friday August 7th morning is similarly sized and glassy with energy at 2786. Also massive.

August 8th keeps the energy high: Saturday morning has 10 ft SW swell at 15 seconds, clean offshore winds, energy 3760—this is world-class reef surfing if you’ve got the nerve. Saturday afternoon is similar but with cross-off winds.

After that, things begin to drop. August 9th morning is still good with glassy 7 ft SW swell at 14 seconds (2282 energy), but the afternoon turns cross-onshore and messy. By August 10th, the swell’s still big but the wind swings onshore strong, and it gets lumpy. The 11th looks average again with light onshore wind.

Water temperature is about average for this time of year—nothing too out of the ordinary for the reef. No serious anomalies to report.

So overall, the best windows are: Thursday July 30th morning, Sunday August 2nd afternoon, and Thursday-Saturday August 6th-8th—especially those afternoons. A little patience this week, and you’ll be paid back big time.

Stay keen.
