Boneyards is a surf spot known for its intense waves that break over boulders. It’s primarily a heavy right-hand reef break that appeals mostly to experienced surfers. The crowd here can be quite local, and they’re usually quick to catch the best sets. It's not the friendliest spot for beginners, so make sure you're up to the task before paddling out.
The surf works best with northeast to southeast swells, ideally around 3 feet (about 1 meter). The waves break heavily at the drop zone and can form a quick barreling pocket, which leads into a ripable wall that's good for those who know what they’re doing. Lefts do show up occasionally over the inside reef, especially when the swells are smaller. If you’re looking to surf here, the best time is during low, mid, or high tide, with a preference for southwest winds for optimal conditions.
Keep in mind that Boneyards has its challenges. Rips can be strong, and the occasional shark sighting adds an element of caution. Urchins are also abundant, so be careful when entering and exiting the water. Overall, this spot is best suited for experts who know how to navigate its complexities.
