The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the next sixteen days at Junkyards.

Right off the bat, it’s a slow start. We’re looking at a real flat spell through the rest of July and into the first few days of August. The first week and a half is pretty much a write-off for any decent paddle surfing. You’ll see a small bump of energy on Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th, with some waist-high SSE swell around 4ft to 4ft. The period is a short 9 seconds, so it won’t have much push. Saturday afternoon actually sees a glassy window with the wind swinging to an easterly 3 mph, and the combined energy hits 218 (moderate). It’s the best of a bad lot early on, but it’s still pretty marginal. The water temp is sitting at 83°, which is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.

After that, we drop right back down. Monday the 28th through to Wednesday the 5th of August is mostly tiny, poor surf with combined energy values dropping into double digits (as low as 19). It’s a long, quiet stretch. The wind is light for most of it, but there just isn’t any swell to work with. This is a bit of a dry spell, but it won’t last forever.

Now, here’s the real standout, and it’s a long way off, so keep an eye on it. The forecast is showing a solid pulse of groundswell arriving on Wednesday the 5th of August. The morning sees a clean 4ft SSW swell with a 10-second period and offshore ENE winds at 6 mph, with combined energy at 162 (moderate). But it’s the afternoon that starts to get interesting, with the swell bumping up to 4ft and the period stretching to 11 seconds, under clean offshore conditions. The energy jumps to 356 (moderate-to-strong).

Then, Thursday the 6th of August is the one to circle on the calendar. The morning is looking very promising: a clean 6ft SSW groundswell with a long 12-second period, and the wind is dead calm, glassy. The combined energy is a hefty 764 (strong). This is a proper swell, but at 6ft, it’s starting to get a bit big for beginners, and the long period means it will have plenty of power. For you experienced crew, this is the time to be at Junkyards. The afternoon holds similar quality with a 6ft swell and 11-second period, still glassy. Friday the 7th of August backs it up with another solid day of 5ft to 5ft S swell under glassy conditions, with energy still in the 600s. This is the best window of the whole outlook.

The crowds here can be a factor sometimes, so for that Thursday and Friday, you’ll want to be on it early. The optimum swell direction for Junkyards is SW, and this pulse is coming from a good angle, so the reef should handle it well.

Get ready for a long wait, but the second week of August is looking like the real deal.

Rusty.

Information about the Junkyards Surf forecast

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