The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
The short story is, it’s gonna be a long, flat stretch. The first few days are a total write-off, and honestly, there’s not a single standout session in the whole 16-day window. If you’re jonesing for a paddle, you’re better off looking at a lake or taking up a new hobby for a bit. The real kicker is that the wind is often offshore or glassy, which would be epic if we had any swell to work with. But we don’t.
The first record of any wave energy is on Thursday, July 24 at Crash Boat (it’s a beach and reef set-up). Even then, we’re talking about a tiny 1 ft from the South with a weak 8-second period. The combined energy is a measly 17 (weak energy). It’s just not worth paddling out for. The morning sees a gentle offshore breeze, so it would be clean, but there’s no substance to it.
The rest of the run is more of the same. From Friday, July 25 all the way through to Wednesday, August 6, the swell barely flickers. You’ll see a few 0.7 ft and 1 ft pulses from the South or SSE, with periods around 4 to 5 seconds. The combined energy stays in the low single digits (2 to 11). The wind is often light offshore, glassy, or cross-offshore, which is a real tease. It’s clean, but there’s nothing to ride. On Thursday, July 31 and Friday, August 1 we get a couple of glassy mornings, but the swell is still tiny.
The biggest size we see is 1 ft on the afternoon of Thursday, July 28 and again on Saturday, August 2. That’s still barely a ripple. The last few days from Sunday, August 3 to Wednesday, August 6 are the same story: tiny 0.7 ft swell, clean offshore winds, but zero energy. The combined energy is always under 20 (weak).
So, what’s the best on offer? There isn’t one. Nothing is a standout. If you absolutely had to get wet, the glassy mornings on Thursday, July 31 or Saturday, August 2 with that 1 ft SSE bump might be the least terrible option, but you’re still looking at knee-high slop. This is a classic case of "no dice" for the entire forecast period. The conditions are often clean, but the ocean is totally asleep. If you’re a kite surfer, the offshore winds and flat water might look interesting, but for paddle surfing, it’s a hard pass.
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.
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.
