The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s in store for Junkyards.

Right off the bat, I’ve gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty grim. We’re staring down a long, flat spell with barely a ripple to get excited about, and the first proper chance of a wave doesn’t arrive until September 12th. That’s a solid week of nothing useful, so don’t bother checking the cam until then.

The water temp is sitting around 84°, which is right on the money for this time of year, so at least the water is warm when you do get in.

Now, the one event that’s got my attention is Saturday, September 12th. That’s the standout. We’ve got a new SSE swell pushing in, around 7 ft on the morning with a 10-second period. The combined energy is a solid 1370, so there’s some proper grunt behind it. That’s going to be a bit too big for the beginners – it’s in the expert zone. But the wind is light and offshore from the ENE, so the reef should be clean and lined up. By the afternoon, the swell drops back to 6 ft, still from the SSE, and the energy is still respectable at 506. The wind stays light and offshore, so it’s really the only window worth paddling out for. Just keep in mind that Junkyards takes a SW direction best, and this swell is coming from the SSE, so it might not be absolutely perfect, but it’s the only decent pulse we get.

After that, the 13th and 14th of September see the swell fade fast. Sunday morning has a tiny 3 ft pulse, but it’s weak. By Monday, it’s back to nothing. Then from the 15th through the 20th, it’s flat. A few tiny 1 ft blips here and there, but nothing you’d bother getting wet for. The wind turns cross-offshore and even glassy on the 18th afternoon, but with only 1 ft of swell, it’s just a flat, clean lake.

So, to sum it up: if you’ve got the skills and you’re desperate, circle September 12th on the calendar. The reef will be working, it’ll be clean, and it’s your only real shot. Everything else is a write-off. Just remember, when it’s this flat for this long, forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.

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.
