The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this stretch is a tough one. The Boardwalk is the only spot on the cards, and for the next 16 days, it’s looking like a long, dry spell of poor surf. The water temp is sitting at 83°F, which is about average for this time of year, so at least you won't freeze while you're waiting for a wave.
Right now, on Monday, August 3rd, we’ve got a tiny 3 ft swell from the ESE, but it’s messy with a risk of thunderstorms and onshore wind. The energy is weak (110), and the period is a short 8 seconds. This is not the day. Tuesday through to Monday the 17th is a real grind – waves barely tickling 0.7 ft to 2 ft, mostly onshore or cross-onshore breezes, and conditions are consistently described as "poor". The combined energy is mostly in the teens or twenties, which is just dead. There’s a little bump on Friday the 7th afternoon with 4 ft from the east, but it’s cross-on with a 7-second period and a moderate energy (277) – still no good, just bigger and choppier.
The first and only glimmer in this whole outlook comes right at the very end, on Tuesday, August 18th, in the morning. The Boardwalk picks up a 2 ft swell from the ENE with a clean, cross-off wind from the SSW. The light breeze will keep it clean, and the wave comment says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions". It’s the best of a bad bunch, but it’s still tiny. That’s your only real chance to get wet, and even then, you’ll be fighting for a dribbler.
The bottom line? This is a 16-day dud. Don't hold your breath. Forecasts change, but for now, leave the board in the shed.
Rusty.

Information about the The Boardwalk Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for The Boardwalk provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at The Boardwalk can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our The Boardwalk 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 (The Boardwalk) 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 The Boardwalk 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.
