Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days are about as flat as a paddling pool for Banzai. We're looking at a long stretch of poor surf conditions with very little to get excited about.
Overall, the pattern is pretty grim. The combined swell energy is mostly weak, bouncing around in the low triple digits and even dipping below 100 (71) at times. The swell is coming in from the SE and ESE, which isn't the optimum S direction for this spot. The period is short, mostly 7-8 seconds, meaning weak, disorganized waves.
Starting now, the first surf recommendation isn't until... well, there isn't really a good one. From Saturday 4th July onwards, we see swell building but always paired with cross-onshore winds. Saturday morning shows a tiny 3ft from the SE, but it's cross-on and choppy. Not worth the paddle out. Water temp is 84°, which is about normal for this time of year.
The biggest size we see comes on the Wednesday morning of the 8th of July, with a 7ft ESE swell, but the combined energy is a moderate 694 and the wind is cross-on. The wave comment itself says "marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions." That 7ft is also pushing into beginner territory, but the quality is just not there.
Even the clearer days later on, like Friday 10th July, show a 6ft SE swell with a slightly better 10-second period and a combined energy of 573. But again, the wind is a moderate breeze from the ESE or SE, making for choppy, onshore conditions. And that 10-second period is moving towards a groundswell, but it's not enough to save it.
Through the second week, the swell drops back down to 3 - 4ft, with very weak energy (often below 200) and onshore winds. It's a real bummer. There are no standouts here. This is just how it goes sometimes; forecasts can change, but for now, I'd say leave the board in the car and go do something else. You're not missing a thing.
Rusty.

Information about the Banzai Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Banzai provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Banzai can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Banzai surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Banzai) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Banzai may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Banzai is 2 km (1 miles) from the city of Boca Chica. If you plan a holiday in Caribbean Coast - Dominican Republic, look for hotels and other accommodation in Boca Chica. Boca Chica has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
