Fish Boma Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got a solid run of swell on the way for Fish Boma, starting this Saturday morning and rolling through the next couple of weeks. This is a reef break that’s fairly consistent and exposed to the south swell, so when it’s on, it’s on.

The water is sitting right around 63°, which is dead average for this time of year, so nothing weird going on there.

The standout of the whole period? No question, it’s Saturday morning, July 25th. The swell is a solid 8ft coming from the SW with a 13-second period, and the combined energy is pumping at 2144 (strong). But the real magic is the wind: glassy, dead calm. That’s as clean as it gets for a reef break. This is proper surf for experienced surfers only – at 8ft, it’s too big for beginners. The crowds are only a *sometimes* thing here, so you might get a few out, but it’s worth the paddle.

Sunday morning, July 26th, is another top pick. Swell drops a touch to 7ft from the SW, still a 12-second period, with glassy conditions again. The energy is still strong (1575). This is a fantastic, clean session for anyone who knows what they’re doing.

Tuesday morning, July 28th, sees a shift. The swell holds at 8ft, but it’s coming from the SSW now with a long 15-second period (groundswell). The energy is very strong (2677). The wind is cross-offshore, so the wave faces will be clean, but that long period at a point/reef setup like Fish Boma is a dream. It’ll have that extra push and shape.

After a bit of a mixed bag mid-week, Thursday morning, July 30th, brings back the glass. Swell is a more manageable 5ft from the SW, 13-second period, and the energy is moderate (1130). Perfect for a wider range of surfers, clean and fun.

Looking further out, Sunday morning, August 2nd, is a real promising one. Swell is 6ft from the ESE, 10-second period, with glassy conditions. The energy is moderate (1036). It’s a different direction, but the glassy wind makes it a serious contender for a clean, fun session.

The final week holds some gems too. Wednesday morning, August 5th, is another glassy, calm morning with 5ft swell from the SW and a 14-second period. The energy is solid (1232). That’s a long-period groundswell with zero wind, which is a recipe for perfection at a reef break.

Then into the weekend, Saturday morning, August 8th, gives us offshore wind from the NE with a 7ft SW swell at 12 seconds. The energy is strong (1431). Offshore wind on a reef is a beautiful thing – clean, hollow waves.

So, to wrap it up: the absolute best of the best is that Saturday morning, July 25th, with the glass and the 8ft swell. Sunday morning, July 26th, is a close second. The long-period swells on the 28th of July and the 5th of August are also standouts. There’s a lot to like here, so get your gear ready.

Rusty.
