The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – we’re looking at a pretty flat stretch for Crash Boat over the next couple of weeks. This is one of those times when the ocean just isn’t delivering any real surf.
The whole 16-day window is basically a bust. There’s no rideable swell to speak of, and every single entry is tagged as poor surf conditions. We start with nothing, and that pattern barely shifts. You’re looking at a gap that runs from the start all the way through the end of the first week. The water temp here is sitting around 85°F, which is about normal for this time of year, so nothing weird there – just no waves.
What little bump we see in wave energy is tiny. On the morning of September 7th, we get a combined energy reading of only 34 (weak) with a weak 2 ft swell from the south at a period of 6 seconds. That’s short-period, windswell junk and not worth paddling out for. The wind does go glassy on a couple of afternoons, like September 6th and 7th, but with no swell it’s just a flat, pretty ocean.
Later in the second week, on September 11th, we finally see the best energy of the whole outlook: a combined energy of 80 (still moderate-low) with a 2 ft swell from the north at a longer 10-second period. The wind is light and clean in the morning – but it’s still only 2 ft. That’s tiny. For a break like Crash Boat that’s sheltered and inconsistent, even this best day is barely a ripple.
It’s a real bummer. We get a few days of offshore and glassy conditions, but they’re wasted on flat water. If you’re a kiter, you might find something to do on the breezy afternoons, but for a surfer, there’s nothing here worth chasing. The forecast can always change, but as it stands, this is a blank run for Crash Boat.
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.
