The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's talk about Boquines in feet and miles for the next 16 days, same story, different numbers.
This is a rough patch, no sugar-coating it. For about the first 13 days, from Monday the 17th right through to Saturday the 29th, the surf is mostly poor. Onshore and cross-onshore wind from the north and northeast is the main culprit, just tearing up the surface. The water temp is about 75°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so you're in boardies or a spring suit.
The waves in that first stretch are mostly 3 to 5 feet, with a short period of 7 to 9 seconds, meaning weak, choppy lines. The combined swell energy is weak to moderate (192 to 579). It just doesn't look clean. On Wednesday the 26th, we see a jump up to 7 feet from the NNE, but it's still cross-on and choppy. Not worth the drive.
The first real shift comes on Sunday the 30th of August. The morning shows 8 feet from the NNE, period 8 seconds, and the combined energy climbs to 822 – that's getting strong. Wind is light onshore at 10 mph. The afternoon is even bigger energy-wise, hitting 1080, with the same size. It's still a marginal call, but it's the first hint of something better.
The true highlight is Monday the 31st. The morning swell is 7 feet from the north, but the period jumps to 12 seconds – that's real groundswell, with lots of power. The combined energy is huge at 1451. The wind is cross-on from the NE at 10 mph, so it won't be glassy, but that long period will push through the chop and make the reef at Boquines work. The afternoon holds at 7 feet, period still 12 seconds, with energy at 1154. This is the day for the experienced crew. It's powerful, a little wild, but the best on offer by a long shot.
After that, Tuesday the 1st of September drops back into the poor zone, with shorter period and stronger cross-on wind.
So, in a nutshell: you've got nearly two weeks of waiting for one decent window. That window is Monday the 31st of August – big, strong north swell with long period. It won't be perfect, but it's the only real chance to get a proper session in. Sunday the 30th might have a few, but Monday is the one to circle on the calendar.
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.
