The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk about the same stretch of coast, but in feet and miles.
It’s going to be a dry spell for a while. The first real surf we see is a long way off, so don’t hold your breath for the first week.
The first few days are a total wash. Monday the 27th at Junkyards has a tiny 2ft swell from the south (128 energy), but it’s just ordinary. The wind is light but not doing any favors. After that, it’s a straight run of flat, tiny waves – 1ft or less – for days. The swell energy drops into the teens and single digits. Water temps are about normal for this time of year. It’s a long, boring gap.
Then we get a glimmer. On Tuesday the 11th of August, the swell finally shows up at 4ft from the SSW (263 energy). That’s the only real pulse in the whole 16 days. The wind is light and offshore, so it’s going to be clean. The period is 10 seconds, so you’ll get some decent shape. That’s your one shot.
So, the standout is that Tuesday the 11th of August. Junkyards is the spot. It’s a reef, so it handles the swell well, and with that glassy offshore breeze, it’ll be smooth. Just be aware, it’s a fairly consistent break, but it can get crowded. It’s not a big swell, so it’s fine for intermediate surfers, but not a beginner’s wave. The rest of the forecast is a long, quiet wait.
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.
