The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break down this 16-day stretch for Junkyards. Honestly, the first week is a bust. From the 2nd through the 6th of August, there’s basically no surf—flat, with some nasty winds and storms. You’re not missing a thing.
The first real action hits on the 7th of August, but it’s a wild one. By the 8th, Saturday, we’re looking at a massive 31ft swell from the south, with a 15-second period—that’s super long-period groundswell. The combined energy is a crazy 38568, way too big for anyone but experts. The wind is storm-force cross-shore, making it a total mess. It’s more of a kite-surfing day. The afternoon cleans up a bit with the swell dropping to 20ft and cross-off winds, but still only for the brave.
The next good window is on the 15th of August. Saturday afternoon shows a 5ft swell from the SSW, with a 10-second period, and a light offshore wind from the east. That’s clean, with moderate energy at 468. It’s a solid option for intermediates. The 17th of August, Monday morning, also looks good—4ft from the SSW, 10 seconds, with a moderate offshore wind. Energy is 341, still moderate, and it’ll be clean.
So, the best bet is the 15th afternoon. The 17th morning is a close second. The rest of the time, it’s either too big, too windy, or just flat. A tough run, but that’s Junkyards for you.

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.
