The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. We're looking at a slow, quiet stretch for the break known as Crash Boat. This is a sheltered, west-facing beach and reef setup for the advanced crew, and it only works properly when we get some west in the swell. The trouble is, for the whole 16-day window, that's just not happening.
For the first week and a half, through until the start of September, the ocean feels like it's asleep. Any swell that pops up is tiny, mostly from the south or north, with a combined wave energy so weak it barely registers—often as low as 0 (zero) or just 2. The water temperature is sitting around 85°, which is about a degree and a half warmer than normal for the time of year—nothing too crazy, but you’ll notice it's on the balmy side. The wind is often offshore or glassy, especially on the mornings, but with no swell to work with, that clean, glassy surface is just a tease. There's a long gap here where there's simply no surf to recommend.
Around the 2nd of September, the north swell direction matches the optimum for this spot for a moment, but the swell height is only 0.3ft. That’s a puddle, not a wave.
The second week is more of the same. From the 3rd of September all the way to the 8th, we're still looking at flat or near-flat conditions. The biggest energy we see is on the 7th of September, with a 0.7ft S swell and a period of 9 seconds, giving us a combined energy of just 6 or 7. That’s still nothing to get excited about. The wind is often offshore or glassy, but it doesn't matter when there's no push.
Honestly, there isn't a single standout day here. The whole 16-day window is a blank run for Crash Boat. It's one of those periods where you leave the board at home. Forecasts can change, but right now, 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.
