The Lowdown
Alright, I’ll be real with you. Crash Boat is looking at a long, flat stretch. It’s a beach and reef break, but it’s sheltered and breaks pretty rarely. Water temp is about 84°F, which is normal for this time of year.
From now through the end of July and into the first week of August, it’s basically dead. The swell energy is next to nothing (0 to 5) and waves are barely a ripple – 0.3ft to 0.7ft, with short-period south windswell. The wind is glassy or light offshore in the mornings, which would be perfect if there was a wave. But there isn’t. This is a dry run lasting about a week and a half.
Around August 7th, we get a tiny pulse. Friday morning shows a 1ft south swell with a 8-second period, and the energy creeps up to 12. Still tiny, but it’s the best we’ll see. The wind is light offshore from the NE, so it’s clean. It’s not a standout – just the only thing on the board. Too small for beginners or anyone really.
After that, it drops back to nothing through the 11th. A few more 0.3ft to 0.7ft swells with poor conditions. The wind stays offshore or cross-offshore, but it doesn’t matter – there’s no power. The longest period we see is 10 seconds on the 11th, with a 0.3ft swell, but the energy is only 3. Just a tease.
Bottom line: if you want to paddle, this isn’t the time. The setup might be better for kite surfing if the wind picks up, but for waves, it’s a flat spell. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get worked up about.

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.
Crash Boat is 4 km (2 miles) from the city of Aguadilla. If you plan a holiday in Puerto Rico, look for hotels and other accommodation in Aguadilla. Aguadilla has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
