The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – this forecast window is a tough one for Boquines. We’re looking at a solid 16-day run, but there’s not a single day where the conditions line up for a good paddle. The whole stretch is a write-off for quality surf.
From Tuesday the 21st of July right through to Wednesday the 5th of August, every single session is marked as poor surf conditions. That’s a long, dry spell. The swell is there – it’s pumping in from the NNE at 5 ft to 8 ft, with combined wave energy ranging from 240 to 829 (moderate to strong), but the wind is the killer. It’s blowing onshore or cross-onshore from the north or north-northeast at 12 to 18 mph damn near the whole time, chopping everything up.
The water temp is sitting at 73°F, which is about average for the time of year, so at least you won’t need a thick wetsuit for the disappointment.
There’s no standout here. Not a single morning or afternoon with glassy or offshore wind. The swell period is mostly 7 to 8 seconds – short-period windswell – so it’s not going to have any real punch or shape.
If you’re desperate, the biggest swell hits around Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th of July, with 8 ft from the NNE, but with that onshore wind, it’s just a blown-out mess. For a reef break like Boquines, that’s a no-go. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Leave the boards in the van.
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.
