The Lowdown
Alright, let’s switch to feet and miles. The outlook for Banzai is quiet for a while. The first proper surf recommendation isn’t until Sunday the 9th of August, so that’s a solid ten-day stretch of nothing to get excited about. For a break that’s usually fairly consistent, that’s a rough patch.
The water’s sitting at 84°F for the first session we see, and the anomaly is about 1°F above normal – nothing out of the ordinary.
The one window to talk about is that Sunday morning, the 9th of August. We’ve got a 6ft swell coming from the ESE, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is 540 (moderate wave energy). The wind is a gentle breeze from the ESE, blowing cross-on, and the report says it’s “gentle cross-onshore and fairly choppy.” It’s marginal, but it’s the best we’ve got. The afternoon drops to 4ft and the wind turns onshore, so forget about it.
That Sunday morning is the only real chance of a wave. The rest of the 16 days are a bust – wind is in the wrong direction, swells are small and weak, and the energy rarely gets into a decent range. For the experienced crowd, that 6ft might be worth a look, but it’s not a day for beginners.

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.
