Boquines Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, Rusty here with the long-range look. Let's not sugarcoat it: this forecast is grim for paddle surfing. We've got swell on the way, but the wind is going to absolutely shred any chance of clean waves for the next couple of weeks.

The whole period is dominated by a stubborn northerly onshore flow. That's the kiss of death for our lineup. The swell direction is also a bit north of what we really want, mainly off the NNE. The size will be there, mostly in the chest-to-head-high range, but it's going to be short-period, wind-blown junk.

For the first few days, from Sunday the 2nd through Tuesday the 4th, it's small and poor. We're talking 4 to 5ft of lumpy, weak surf. The energy is weak to moderate, starting at 123 and building to around 220, but it doesn't matter. With the wind on it, it's a mess. Water temp is around 73°F, which is pretty normal for the season.

The swell and energy build through the first week, hitting a solid 6ft with a strong 462 energy reading by Saturday the 8th, but the wind just gets worse. The period is stuck in the 7-8 second range, which is just not long enough for the wave to set up. This is pure chop.

The second week continues the same story. Swell stays consistent at 5-6ft, but so does the wind. There is no let-up. The period finally stretches to 9 seconds on the 15th and 16th, but the onshore wind will still ruin it. This whole setup looks way more fun for kite surfing than surfing. It's a full-on whiteout.

There is one faint glimmer on Monday the 17th, where the morning wind drops to a light breeze, but that's a long way out and the swell drops off too. Don't plan your life around it.

So there it is. A whole lot of ocean movement and nowhere clean to ride it. There are no standout days, no windows of opportunity. The call is to give it a miss. The ocean is angry, and there's no point in fighting it. Keep the board in the car and wait for the wind gods to give us a break.

Rusty out.
