Boquines Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here in imperial. Let’s break down this 16-day run.

Honestly, it’s a rough outlook. There isn’t one single day across the whole 16-day window where I’d tell you to paddle out. The swell tries to show up, especially later on, but the wind and the general wave quality just never line up. Almost the whole stretch is cursed with onshore or cross-onshore winds, which is a real shame because the swell gets solid toward the end.

The only spot in the mix is Boquines. It’s a consistent, exposed reef break, and it’s meant for advanced surfers only. Water temp is 73°F, which feels about normal for this time of year.

We kick off Wednesday the 15th of July with tiny, weak surf – 2ft from the north with a short period, and a cross-onshore breeze. Combined energy is 52, so flat is the word. The next few days, the swell barely touches 3ft, and the cross-onshore wind keeps everything choppy.

From Friday the 17th of July onward, the wind locks in onshore from the north or north-northeast. The swell does build – by Saturday the 18th, we’re looking at 5ft to 6ft, with combined energy hitting 262. But that onshore wind means it’s a messy, blown-out affair.

The real size shows up in the last week. By Thursday the 23rd of July, we’ve got 7ft to 8ft of north-northeast swell, with combined energy up to 696. But the wind is still onshore at 12-16 mph. It’s got power, but no polish.

The biggest push comes Sunday the 26th of July – 8ft from the north-northeast, with combined energy at 1040. That’s strong, heavy surf. But at that size, it’s expert territory, and with the wind blowing onshore, it’s more of a washing machine than a wave face.

There’s a full 16-day gap with no recommended sessions. No standouts. For a spot that’s usually consistent, this is a real bummer. The swell is there, but the wind just won’t play ball. If things shift, it could change, but for now, it’s a no-go.

Rusty.
