The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s coming our way for Boquines.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days are lookin’ pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions ahead, with no real standout sessions to get excited about. The water temp is sittin’ at 76°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t be freezing your toes off.
The forecast kicks off on Sunday, August 23rd, with a bit of marginal surf. We’re lookin’ at a 3 ft swell from the north, with a short period of 10 seconds. The wind is light and offshore from the NNE, which is nice, but the wave energy is only moderate (267). It’s just not enough to get the heart pumping. Later that afternoon, a 4 ft swell from the NNW shows up with a very long period of 14 seconds – that’s groundswell energy – and the combined energy jumps to 660. But the wave comment calls it marginal, and the score is a 1 out of 10. So, a bit of a tease.
From Monday, August 24th, right through to the end of the run on September 7th, it’s all marked as “poor surf conditions.” The swell hangs around, mostly between 2 ft and 7 ft, but the wind is almost always cross-onshore or just onshore, making for choppy, messy surf. The periods are short and disorganised, and the combined energy values are mostly in the moderate range, but it’s just not working for us. The standouts are nowhere to be found.
There is a bit of a pulse on Saturday, August 29th, with a 6 ft swell from the NNW and a period of 11 seconds, giving a strong 1093 combined energy. But the wind is a solid 16 mph cross-onshore from the NNE, so it’s gonna be a blown-out mess. That’s for experts only, if anyone’s even game.
Honestly, for the next two weeks, I’d be looking at kite surfing gear if you’ve got it. The swell is there, but the quality for paddle surfing is just not on. It’s a blank run, and while it’s frustrating, it’s not unusual for this area. The forecast can change, but right now, I’d say save your energy.
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.
