The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – we’ve got a long, flat spell ahead. The next 16 days are looking real quiet. There’s a big gap of nothing happening from now until the very end of the period, with wave energy sitting at zero or close to it for days on end. Don’t get your hopes up for any decent rides.
The first sign of any surf isn’t until the afternoon of Friday the 11th at Crash Boat. It’s a beach and reef setup, sheltered from the swell, so we’re not expecting much. A tiny 1 ft of swell from the north, with a period of 8 seconds, and combined energy of just 23. That’s barely a ripple. The wind will be offshore, which is a positive, but the size is more suited to a beginner’s lesson than anything exciting. The water temp is sitting at 85°, which is about 2° warmer than usual for this time of year – nothing crazy, just a touch on the warm side.
After that, it’s back to the same old story. From Saturday the 12th right through to the end of the forecast on Monday the 21st, we’re looking at a persistent run of 0.3 ft to 1.0 ft swells. The combined energy stays in the single digits or low teens – that’s weak wave energy. The wind directions are variable, sometimes offshore, sometimes cross-offshore, but it doesn’t really matter with waves this tiny. There’s nothing that stands out as worth paddling out for.
Honestly, this is a total bust. The setup is more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer if any wind picks up, but for a proper surf, you’re better off finding something else to do. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s no real standout day. The best of a bad bunch is that Friday afternoon, but that’s not saying much.
Rusty.

Information about the Crash Boat Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Crash Boat provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Crash Boat can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Crash Boat 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 (Crash Boat) 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 Crash Boat 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.
