Table - best surf conditions forecast for Banzai over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Banzai over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – it’s a grim picture for paddle surfing, so don’t get your hopes up.
Right from the get-go on Thursday afternoon, the 9th of July, it’s a write-off. We’ve got a storm risk, onshore wind from the ESE at 12 mph, and a cross-onshore swing that’s just messing things up. The combined energy is weak at 213, and the swell is short-period wind slop. The next morning on Friday the 10th, we see a pulse of swell – around 7 ft from the ESE, but again that period is just 8 seconds, and it’s cross-onshore. It’s not going to be clean. For the entire run up to the 24th of July, every single session is marked as poor surf conditions. The wind mostly hangs onshore or cross-onshore, blowing from the east or southeast at 9 to 16 mph, and those periods rarely climb above 8 seconds. Even the small bumps of energy, like the 6 ft on Saturday afternoon the 11th with moderate energy (754), are wrecked by the onshore wind.
For the advanced crew out there, this swell does get over 5 ft at times, like Friday morning the 10th at 7 ft, and Thursday the 16th morning at 6 ft. That’s proper size for a reef, and it will be heavy. But with onshore wind and short period, it’s going to be a messy, dangerous closeout. This reef setup with onshore wind and short period slop honestly looks more interesting for the kite surfers than anyone with a paddle.
There is no standout in this forecast. The water temp is sitting around 84°F, which is about average for this time of year, but the conditions just aren’t there. We’re looking at an entire 16-day period with no solid, clean window. It’s a tough run, but that’s the reality for Banzai at the moment.
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.
