Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what Banzai has in store for us over the next couple of weeks. Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – it’s a pretty grim stretch ahead. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with no real surf to get excited about.
The whole 16-day window is a write-off for any kind of quality session. Right from the start this Friday morning, July 3rd, it's a no-go. We've got a weak, short-period swell from the SE at about 4ft and the wind is on it from the ESE. The energy is weak (112), and the water temp is sitting at a pretty normal 84°F, but honestly, that doesn't matter when the surf is this poor.
This pattern just locks in. Day after day, we see the same story: small, weak swell from the ESE or SE, nearly always under 5ft for the first week, with the wind blowing onshore or cross-onshore. It stays that way right through the first week and into the second. The combined energy does bump up into the moderate range a few times, like on the 5th (433) and the 7th (446), but it's never enough to overcome the poor conditions. The period stays short, between 7 and 9 seconds, so it’s just weak, crummy waves.
There’s a slight uptick in size around the 8th of July, with the swell hitting 6ft, and energy reaching a moderate 507-526. But again, it’s riddled with cross-onshore winds, risk of thunderstorms, and the wave comment only calls it “marginal” at best. Definitely not worth paddling out for.
The second week doesn’t offer any hope either. From the 12th onwards, we’re looking at the same small, onshore slop, with energy values mostly in the weak range. There’s nothing in this forecast that gives a surfer any reason to grab a board. For a spot like Banzai, which is a fairly consistent reef break, this is a bleak run.
With such poor surf quality, consistent onshore and cross-onshore winds, and a beach/reef setup, this looks more interesting for a kite session than a paddle surf.
So, save your energy. The forecasts can always change, but for now, there’s nothing on the menu.
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.
