The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
It’s a rough stretch ahead. For the next 16 days, there’s no real surf to get excited about. The wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is short-period, choppy, and weak. No clean windows, no decent groundswell.
The first surf on offer is at Boquines (reef). The water is 75°, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. From Saturday the 15th through the end of the week, swell runs from 2 ft to 6 ft, but it’s all from the NNE or N – a bad angle. The period is short, 6 to 9 seconds, making it windswell. The combined energy is moderate (332 to 127), and the wind is cross-on or onshore, keeping the surface choppy and messy.
The second week doesn’t offer any relief. From Monday the 24th, there’s a bump up to 7 ft, with energy hitting 660 – moderate to strong. But the wind is still cross-on from the NE at 12 mph. The period is only 9 seconds, so it’s not a real groundswell. The surf will be fat, lined up poorly, and blown out. For a reef break, that’s a tough deal. It’s too big for beginners, and the onshore wind ruins it for everyone.
By the end of the month, from the 28th onward, the swell drops under 3 ft, with energy falling below 100. The wind goes light onshore from the NNW and N, but with such tiny, weak swell, there’s nothing to ride.
No standout days. The whole 16-day window is a bust for Boquines. If you had to pick a time, the 24th or 25th morning might be the least bad, but with cross-on wind and poor direction, it’s not worth the drive. This setup would actually be better for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the steady wind and moderate sized, messy swell.
Keep watching the charts, but for now, there’s nothing calling.
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.
