Boneyard is located just past Ulu at the top of the point along the California coast. It's known for its gnarly reef setup surrounded by a bowl of rocks. This spot isn’t the friendliest for beginners or even intermediate surfers, so it’s definitely better suited for those who have some experience. The waves come in heavy during the winter months, creating some solid surf for those willing to take it on. While parking is easy to find, be ready for a spot that can get crowded when the waves are firing.

The surf at Boneyard works best when the swell is coming from the west, northwest, or even north at sizes ranging from 6 feet (about 1.8 meters) to 15 feet (around 4.6 meters). The right-hand waves break over a rock reef, which can be pretty gnarly. It’s a takeoff area that requires some precision, especially since the waves are big and the takeoff zone is small. Low to mid tide is usually the way to go, and the best wind conditions are from the east to southeast. It's a solid reef break, catering to intermediate and expert surfers who ride shortboards.

Boneyard is active mostly during autumn and winter, particularly from September to February. The crowd factor can spike when the waves are good, so be prepared for some local competition and a vibe that can be a bit intense. Plus, watch out for those rocks and locals who know the spot. The surf here can demand respect, so approach it with caution.
