The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window is a tough one for Crash Boat. The numbers are just not adding up for any decent surf. We're looking at a long, long stretch of flat to near-flat conditions, with a consistent run of "poor surf conditions" showing up all the way through the forecast. The water temperature is sitting at 85°F with a 1°F anomaly, so it's about average for this time of year, which is nice for a paddle, but that's about the only positive.
From now through the end of the first week and into the second week, it’s a real desert. We’ve got days of nothing but tiny, weak pulses from the south with periods around 5 seconds and combined energy levels barely hitting single digits (2 to 5). The wind is often offshore from the ENE or NE, which would be ideal if there was any swell to work with, but there isn't. A few times we see a tiny 0.3ft north swell with a 13-second period, but even then, the energy is only 4 or 5. It's like finding a drop of water in the desert.
There's a very slight uptick around September 7th, over a week away. Monday morning the 7th shows a 2ft swell from the north with a 10-second period, and the energy gets up to 69. Monday afternoon sees a 2ft north swell at 74 energy. That's still weak, and the comment is still "poor surf conditions." The wind is light offshore in the morning and a gentle offshore in the afternoon, which would keep things clean. But it's a far cry from a day you'd load up the car for. The swell direction from the north is off from the optimum west swell this spot is known for, and with the inconsistency issue, it's a real gamble.
So, what's the best on offer? Honestly, there isn't a standout. If I had to pick the least-bad window, it's the afternoon of September 7th. You might find a few crumbly, knee-high waves from the north with a clean face. But don't expect any power or shape. The rest of the time, you're better off finding other things to do. This is a classic case of a blank run for this area, so don't be too surprised. Forecasts can change, but right now, it's a no-go.
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.
