Yonabaru Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab a seat and let’s talk about Yonabaru.

Honestly, it’s looking a bit flat and rough out there for the next couple of weeks. The surf window kicks off on Monday the 10th, but it’s not much to write home about – we’re looking at small, junky waves with a cross-onshore breeze chopping things up. The water is sitting at a warm 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit, just patience.

The first few days are a write-off for anything decent. Monday and Tuesday are all under 4ft with poor conditions. The swell energy is weak to moderate, and with the wind blowing from the southeast, it’s just messy.

The first glimmer of hope comes on Wednesday the 12th. We finally get a bit of offshore wind in the morning, cleaning things up. It’s still small – around 2ft – but it’s surfable and the conditions are ordinary, not terrible. It’s something. Thursday the 13th has a moment of pure glass in the morning with 2ft, but it’s tiny and the energy is weak. This is really for the longboard crew only.

From Friday the 14th onwards, it’s a real struggle. The swell drops off, the wind goes onshore, and we’re looking at days of poor surf conditions and weak energy readings. The 15th, 16th, 17th, and 18th are all sub-3ft with onshore winds and the energy barely registering. It’s a flat spell, plain and simple.

Things get a little windier around the 20th with a fresh breeze, but the swell is small and messy. The 21st is pretty much non-existent – less than 1ft. That’s a paddling session, not a surfing one. The rest of the month follows the same pattern: small, weak, onshore slop. The 23rd has a little bump from the east at 3ft but the period is a poor 5 seconds, so it’s just wind chop.

Honestly, for Yonabaru, there’s no standout swell in this entire 16-day outlook. The best you can hope for is a small, clean wave on the 12th or 13th, but the energy is weak. The forecast confidence is low for the more distant days, but nothing on the horizon looks like it’s going to change things dramatically. It’s one of those stretches where you might be better off finding another hobby for a bit.

Just keep an eye on it; forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a lot of nothing.

Rusty.
