Boneyard surf guide

Boneyard is a surf spot that brings together a mix of challenges for experienced surfers. The break is known for its heavy right-hand waves that crash over a rocky reef, which is often sprinkled with urchins. It offers decent protection from the south winds and even handles southeast sea breezes pretty well. It's a spot where local surfers often dominate, so expect a bit of competition in the lineup.

This break works best with northeast to southeast swells, and it usually handles swell sizes of around 3 feet (about 1 meter). The waves can get sucky right at the drop zone, rolling into a fast, barreling pocket before turning into a rip-able wall. While the right is the main draw, you'll find some lefts appearing on smaller swells as they break over the inside reef. Low to mid to high tides are all good, so you can catch a wave at various tidal stages, but always remember that this spot is suited for expert surfers only.

Being aware of the environment is crucial here. The rips can be strong, and the presence of sharks and urchins shouldn't be overlooked. Always keep your wits about you while you're out there, and be prepared for a crowded lineup. This is a spot that demands respect and skill from those who decide to take it on.
