Boquines Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s switch to feet and miles per hour. Rusty here, and I’m going to tell you the same story, just in different numbers.

Honestly, I’ve got to be straight with you—this is a tough one. The whole 16-day forecast is a real mixed bag, and it’s mostly bad news. We’re looking at a long stretch of nothing good, with a big gap of poor conditions right through the middle.

The first chance for a surf starts on Thursday, July 9th, but it’s a non-starter. The swell is small and weak, the wind is howling onshore, and the water temp is a mild 72°, which is pretty normal for this time of year. The combined energy is a measly 80 (weak), and it’s just not worth paddling out.

That theme continues straight through to Saturday, July 12th. The swell stays tiny, with periods so short the waves have no push. The wind is relentless onshore, and the combined energy stays below 100. It’s a write-off.

Things try to pick up a little from Sunday, July 13th, through Wednesday, July 16th. The swell direction swings to the NNW and the sizes creep up, but the wind is still a problem. We get some cross-onshore action, and the combined energy jumps into the low hundreds (moderate), but it’s still messy and choppy. Not a clean wave in sight.

Then, from Thursday, July 17th, the swell really starts pumping. We’re talking 7 ft to 7 ft from the NNE, with periods of 8 seconds. The combined energy climbs into the 500s and 600s (strong). But here’s the kicker—every single entry in the forecast says “poor surf conditions.” The wind is still onshore, and the period is just too short to hold that size together. For a reef break like Boquines, that’s a recipe for a washing machine. Some of that swell gets over 8 ft by Friday, July 24th, with combined energy hitting 976 and 1093 (very strong). That’s expert-only territory, and with the wind all over it, it’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a clean paddle session.

Looking at the whole 16 days, there’s really no standout. The best on offer is a few days in the middle of the second week, like around Monday, July 21st, when the swell drops back to 5 ft with a slightly longer period of 9 seconds. The wind is onshore but lighter, and the combined energy is 322 (moderate). Even then, it’s a far cry from clean. The water is still that same 72°, which is average.

So, for the whole two weeks, there’s no single day I’d circle on the calendar. It’s a long, dry spell. The spot is Boquines, a reef break that’s consistent and exposed to the NNW. It’s got the right idea, but the wind and swell timing just aren’t lining up. Crowds are possible here, but with conditions this poor, you’ll likely have it to yourself.

Stay patient, mates. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a bust.

Rusty.
