The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cookin’ at Junkyards.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a rough start. The first few days are a total write-off. We’re talking a gale-force cross-shore blending with a massive 21.3ft swell from the SSW, creating a dangerous, blown-out mess. The combined wave energy is absolutely pumping at a whopping 10360 (moderate to strong wave energy), but it’s unsurfable. That stormy, onshore mayhem hangs around through Saturday, Sunday, and into Monday. It’s not until Thursday morning, August 13th, that we finally get a clean window. The wind switches to a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNE, and the swell drops to a manageable 4.6ft from the SSW with a period of 9 seconds. The water’s sitting at a warm 86.0°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. It’s a small, clean wave, but that’s the best on offer in the first week.

After that, the surf gets tiny. From Friday the 14th through to the middle of the following week, we’re scraping the barrel with knee-high slop and onshore breezes. There’s a brief moment on Sunday afternoon, August 16th, where the wind goes glassy, but the swell is only 2.3ft. It’s surfable, but barely.

Now, hold on to your boards, because the end of the outlook gets interesting. After a long, flat spell, we see a new pulse of energy arriving on Thursday afternoon, August 20th. The swell jumps back up to 9.8ft from the SE, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy kicks up to 1826 (moderate wave energy). The wind will be a strong cross-offshore breeze, keeping it clean. This is a big, powerful wave, well over 8.2ft, so this is strictly for experienced surfers only. The Friday morning, August 21st, looks like the standout of the entire run. You’ve got an 8.2ft SE swell, a period of 9 seconds, and a clean, fresh offshore wind from the East. The energy is still strong at 1208. That’s a proper, punchy wall for the crew that knows how to handle it. The optimum swell direction for this reef is from the SW, so this SE swell is a bit off-angle, but the clean conditions and size make it the best bet.

So, to sum it up: the first week is a total loss. The best window is the clean, moderate swell on Thursday the 13th, but the real standout, the one to circle on your calendar, is the bigger, cleaner swell on Friday morning, August 21st. Get on it.

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.
