Table - best surf conditions forecast for The Boiler over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight – this 16-day window for The Boiler is a total write-off. From July 8 through to July 23, every single session is flagged as poor. The swell heights barely nudge above 2 ft most days, and even when they reach 3 ft it’s a short-period windswell (4 sec) with lumpy cross-shore winds. The combined energy never climbs above 50 – weak stuff. For a reef break that’s already inconsistent and only breaks on the right swell direction (SW optimum), this is about as flat as it gets. There are a few glassy mornings early on (July 8 and 9), but the swell is just not there. Later on, winds crank up from the east, adding chop and making it messy. No standouts, no build, no hope in this stretch.
But hey, The Boiler is an inconsistent spot by nature, so this kind of blank run isn’t unusual. The good news is that forecasts can shift – a long-period groundswell from the southwest could flip things fast. Just not this time. Keep the board waxed and stay patient.
Rusty.

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