The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the outlook for Boquines in the next 16 days.
To be honest, this is a pretty grim forecast. The entire period is a bust for any decent surf. There’s wave energy, sure – from about 161 up to over 1600 – but the wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, just tearing the surface up. The swell is up and down, but none of it is clean. You’ll see a bit of size around July 26th, with 3.0m swell from the NNE and energy jumping to 1376, but the wind is still onshore, so it’s just a big, messy wall. The water is running at about 74°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
From Friday the 17th of July onward, it’s just moderate breezes and choppy water. The swell period is short, around 7 to 8 seconds, so it’s weak, windblown junk. Later in the month, the swell picks up, but the wind doesn’t cooperate. By the 27th of July, it eases a bit, but still not clean. There’s no standout day in the whole 16 days. The best you can do is hope for a lucky break in the wind, but the forecast doesn’t show it.
For kite surfers, this might be a good window with the wind and swell, but for paddle surfing, it’s not worth it. This is a normal dry spell for the area. Sometimes you get a blank run like this.
Rusty.

Information about the Boquines Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Boquines provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Boquines can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Boquines 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 (Boquines) 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 Boquines 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.
