Blokken Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let me level with you about Blokken. Looking over the next couple of weeks, I gotta be straight – it’s a lean stretch. The whole 16-day window is pretty empty. We’ve got a run of tiny, weak, onshore slop for the first week and a bit, and even when a pulse of energy shows up, it’s still messy. There’s no standout day here, so don't get your hopes up. The first real bump in energy isn't until Tuesday the 11th, but that comes with its own issues.

The water is sitting at about 70°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. Feels like a warm bath out there.

Let’s start at the beginning: Sunday the 2nd gives us a tiny 1ft from the NNW in the morning with a light 6 mph NE breeze. Not much there. The afternoon gets blown out with a fresh 22 mph N wind and a messy 3ft, 4-second wave. No good.

Monday the 3rd through Wednesday the 5th is more of the same – knee-high dribble with 0.5ft to 3ft swell, mostly cross-shore or onshore winds, and periods under 10 seconds. The combined wave energy is in the wee digits, like 6 to 25, so it's basically flat.

We get a slight uptick on Thursday the 6th with 3ft from the WNW, but the wind is onshore and bumpy, energy sitting at 42. That’s not surfable. Friday and the weekend are more of the same weak NW windswell in the 2ft to 3ft range.

The only time a bit of size shows its face is around Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th. Tuesday morning we finally see a 6ft, 7-second NW swell with combined energy hitting 275 – that's a real jump in energy. Sounds promising, but the morning's wind is onshore from the northwest at 9 mph, ruining the shape. Tuesday afternoon drops to 5ft, still onshore. Wednesday brings a similar 4ft to 4ft from the NNW with moderate cross-onshore winds. This is the only time Blokken gets to a size that’s even worth a look, but the conditions are poor. It’s a beach-and-reef setup, so with that onshore wind and bumpy water, this is looking more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

After that, we fade out. Thursday the 13th gets hammered by a strong 25 mph WNW wind, dropping the swell to 2ft. Then from Friday the 14th onward, we’re back to tiny 2ft to 3ft waves with no clean wind. Even Saturday the 15th morning has glassy conditions, but the swell is a pathetic 2ft from the north with a 4-second period – that’s just flat with a ripple.

Honestly, if you’re dead set on getting wet, the best you can hope for is that Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th pulse, but keep your expectations real low. The wind is against us for any quality. It’s a long, frustrating run. Forecasts can change, but for now, leave the board at home.

Rusty.
