Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Boquines has in store for us. I've got to be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for quality surfing, so don't get your hopes up.
We start on Friday morning, July 3rd, and right out of the gate it's "poor surf conditions." This isn't a one-off bad day; it's a pattern that sticks with us the entire run. There are no standout sessions, no hidden gems. The swell is on offer, but the wind and wave quality kill it every time.
From the start, the swell hangs around 3 ft to 5 ft, mostly from the N or NNE directions, which is the optimum direction for the break. The combined swell energy ranges from a weak 54 up to a moderate 434, so there's push in the water. But the wind is the problem. Almost every session has a cross-on or onshore wind, ranging from a light breeze to a moderate breeze. The few times it's labeled "on" (onshore), it's still not clean.
The period is mostly short, between 5 and 10 seconds, meaning weak, choppy waves. On Saturday morning, July 11th, we see a 12-second period from the NW but with only 2 ft of swell – not enough to do anything with.
There's one stretch of slightly bigger waves starting Thursday, July 16th, through to the end of the forecast on Saturday, July 18th. Swell sizes climb from 5 ft up to 7 ft, with combined energy reaching a strong 627. But the wind is still onshore – moderate breeze – and the period is only 8 seconds. At 7 ft, that's expert-only territory anyway, and with onshore wind, it's just a messy wall of water. Honestly, for paddle surfing, it's a no-go. That setup – significant swell, poor quality, onshore wind, and a reef break – looks far more interesting for kite surfing than anything on a surfboard.
Because Boquines is a consistent spot, you'd normally expect something to fire, but the wind forecast has it locked down. It tends not to stay poor for long, and forecasts can change, but as of now, there isn't a single day I'd recommend paddling out.
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.
