The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get real about what’s cooking for Crash Boat. I’ve had a hard look at the numbers, and I gotta tell you straight up – this is gonna be a tough one for the next couple of weeks.
The overall picture is pretty flat and quiet. The energy just isn’t there. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak surf with very little to get excited about. The combined energy readings are all in the single digits or low double digits, which is a dead giveaway – we’re talking about super weak wave energy (6, 11, 27, etc.).
For the first few days, from Thursday the 13th right through to at least the end of the first week, it’s a write-off. The swell heights are hovering around 0.3ft to 1ft, and the periods are short, mostly 5–6 seconds. That’s just wind chop, not real swell. The wind is often offshore or cross-off, which would be great if there was any wave to clean up, but there’s nothing to surf. It’s frustrating.
The only moment that looks even remotely interesting is later on Monday the 17th. We get a glassy afternoon with a tiny pulse of 2ft from the SSE at a 5-second period, and the combined energy nudges up to 27. The water temp is about average for this time of year. But even then, the wave comment calls it "poor surf conditions". It’s not enough to get me paddling out.
The rest of the run through to the end of the month is the same story: tiny 0.6ft to 1ft waves, mostly 5–6 seconds, and energy levels that never break 12. There are some glassy mornings and offshore afternoons, but with no swell to work with, it’s a flat spell. There’s a solid 10-day gap where there’s nothing worth recommending.
So honestly, for Crash Boat, there’s no standout session in this 16-day window. The only thing that makes this place worth a mention is that it’s sheltered, and it’s inconsistent – it doesn’t break often, so a blank run like this is more normal for the area. Keep your gear waxed, keep an eye on the charts, because it tends not to stay this poor forever. But for now, leave the boards at home.
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.
