Blokken Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let me lay it out for you. I’ve looked at the forecast for Blokken over the next couple of weeks, and it’s a real bummer. There’s some swell, but the conditions just aren’t lining up.

We start on Thursday the 30th of July. It’s a no-go. A tiny 2ft west swell is getting torn up by a cross-onshore wind, and the energy is weak. It’s a mess.

Friday the 31st and the weekend don't get any better. The swell stays small, under 2ft, and that cross-on wind never lets up. The wave energy is low, and the shape is hopeless.

Then we get a little glimmer. Monday the 3rd of August, in the morning, the wind goes light and cross-offshore from the east-northeast. The waves are still only about 3ft, but the surface is clean. It’s the best we’ll see for a while. For a surfer who just wants a glide, this is the moment.

Tuesday the 4th of August brings the biggest swell of the whole outlook, but don't get your hopes up. We see 4ft to 5ft from the north, with the combined energy getting into the moderate range. The catch is a strong cross-shore wind from the southwest, making it lumpy and choppy. For a beach break, that setup looks more like a kite-surfing day than a paddle day.

From Wednesday the 5th onward, it’s a slog. The swell drops back to 2ft or less, and the wind keeps swinging, mostly cross-on or onshore. We get another cleanish morning on Saturday the 8th of August – light cross-off wind – but the swell is barely 2ft with almost no energy.

The second week, from the 10th of August onward, is more of the same. The swell nudges up to 3ft to 4ft, but the wind just stays messy. The energy never really gets going. There’s no standout day.

So here’s the truth. The only two windows to even think about are the morning of Monday the 3rd and the morning of Saturday the 8th of August. Both have clean surface conditions, but the swell is small. If you’re itching for a session, those are your best bets. Otherwise, it’s a quiet stretch for this spot. It happens.
