The Lowdown

G'day, Rusty here. Truth is, for the next couple of weeks, Banzai is looking like a bit of a write-off for anything decent. The whole 16-day window is pretty much a no-go for a proper surf. You’ll see nearly every day stamped with "poor surf conditions," and the scores are all zeros. There’s a gap of solid, empty days from the very start right through to the morning of August 13th where there’s nothing worth paddling out for.

The only faint glimmer of hope pops up on the morning of Thursday, August 13. We get a bit of a bump with a 7ft swell coming from the ESE, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy kicks up to 958 (moderate to strong), which is the most push we’ll see. But even then, the wind is a cross-onshore breeze from the east at 9 mph, and the report says "marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions." That’s about as close to a 'maybe' as we get. It’s not going to be clean, and it’ll be choppy. For the rest of the run, the swell is onshore, small, and weak, with combined energy mostly under 200.

Don’t get your hopes up. This is a blank run for the area. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing special there. Pack it in for now and keep an eye on the horizon – forecasts can change, but right now, this stretch is a total dud.

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.
