The Lowdown

Alright, grab your wetsuit – Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for your next 16 days. Let’s cut through the noise.

We’re looking at a slow start, but there’s some fire in the distance. The first week is mostly a write-off for anything decent, but hold the line for the second weekend. That’s the real story.

Kicking off Sunday the 30th of August, Junkyards is on offer with a 4 ft swell out of the SSW, period around 9 seconds. The wind is a cross-off from the ESE at 16 mph, so it’ll be clean but the energy is weak – combined energy is only 203. It’s marginal, and the score reflects that. A bit of a nothing-burger.

Through Monday and Tuesday the 31st of August and 1st of September, it gets worse. We drop right down to 3 ft. The wind stays cross-off or offshore, but the swell is small and weak. By Tuesday afternoon on the 1st, we see a spike to 6 ft from the SSW with a period of 11 seconds and energy jumping to 817, but it’s paired with a risk of thunderstorms and a fresh 19 mph cross-off breeze. Still a pass.

Wednesday the 2nd of September sees the swell jump big – 10 ft to 12 ft from the S, period 10-11 seconds. That combined energy hits 2708-2856, which is strong. But here’s the catch: the wind is still a fresh cross-off from the SE at 16-19 mph, and with that size, Junkyards being a reef setup is a tricky beast. This is getting into expert territory with that stormy vibe. Not the one.

From Thursday the 3rd right through to Wednesday the 9th of September, it’s a desert. Swells between 1 ft and 6 ft, weak energy (most under 200), and a mix of cross-off and offshore winds that are often too strong – including near gale-force gusts. The waves are just gutless or blown out. A long gap of about a week where you don’t even bother looking.

But then, on Friday the 11th of September, things get interesting. The morning shows a 4 ft SSE swell with a notably long period of 13 seconds. That’s groundswell, packing a punch with energy at 546. The wind? Dead calm – glassy conditions. The report says “expect very good surf conditions.” A standout, but be aware: that long 13-second period means it’ll be lining up best on the reef and won’t be a dumpy beachie. Clean, consistent lines.

Saturday the 12th of September is a flatline – zero swell.

Then the big one hits on Sunday the 13th of September. We’re talking a massive 21 ft swell from the west, period 12 seconds, and a combined energy of 11,924. That is a wall of water. For context, anything over 8 ft is expert-only, and this is way beyond. The wind is a manageable cross-off from the north at 16 mph, but the data explicitly says the swell is predicted to be too big for this break. Monday the 14th is still a hefty 10 ft from the NW with 13-second period and 3178 energy, but still only marginal due to size and wind.

The standouts: Friday morning on the 11th of September is your best window for a clean, manageable session – glassy, 4 ft from the SSE with lovely long period. The one to really circle is Sunday morning the 13th of September if you are an expert looking for a beast, but Junkyards is a reef and 21 ft is a massive commitment. That Friday is the true jewel in the crown.

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.
