The Boiler Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get real here. I’ve looked over the numbers for this stretch, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a pretty flat and grim run for The Boiler. The finder isn’t picking out any solid windows for a proper surf, and the guidance confirms it: this is an inconsistent reef that’s barely showing a pulse.

Right now, the water temp is sitting at a very unusual 66°, which is over five degrees warmer than normal for the time of year. That’s a big outlier, something you don’t see often.

We start with Saturday the 12th. A messy 7 ft swell from the WSW, but with a 25 mph cross-on wind, it’s blown-out and chopped-up. Combined wave energy is at 362, which is moderate, but with the wind tearing it apart, it’s poor. Forget it. Sunday the 13th drops to 4 ft but stays poor with cross-shore winds and a cross-chop. The energy drops to 189 – still weak to moderate. Monday the 14th is similar, 3 ft and choppy. Tuesday the 15th gives us a bit of cross-offshore wind, making things clean, but it’s only 4 ft and the period is a short 7 seconds – not much push. Energy is 170.

Wednesday the 16th morning sees clean conditions again with a 4 ft swell from the W, 8-second period, energy up to 230. Still, the scores say poor. Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th are all clean but small, with the swell dropping to 3 ft and energy falling to 111. Saturday the 19th picks up to 5 ft but with a 22 mph cross wind, creating lumpy chop. Energy is 256, but it’s not surfable.

Now, there’s a tiny glimmer on Monday the 21st of September. In the morning, we get glassy conditions – NW wind at just 3 mph – with a 4 ft swell from the W. The energy is 102, and the report says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” That’s the only nod towards anything rideable in the whole 16 days. But even then, it’s weak and inconsistent.

After that, it’s a long, flat fade. From Tuesday the 22nd all the way through to Sunday the 27th, we’re looking at waves from 1 ft down to a pathetic 0.3 ft. The combined energy drops into single digits. On the 23rd and 24th it’s glassy but flat as a pancake. By the 27th, we’ve got a 0.3 ft swell with a very long 14-second period, but with no height, it’s just a ripple.

Honestly, there are no standouts here. The whole 16-day window is a bust for surf. For a break that’s already inconsistent, a run like this is just normal for the area. Don’t hold your breath, but forecasts can change. Keep an eye on it.
