The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let me level with you about Crash Boat.
The straight dope is we're staring down a rough patch. This break is already unreliable, and this forecast is proving it. You've got a long dry spell running from now all the way through Wednesday the 23rd. That's over a week of flat, shin-high dribble from 0.3ft to 0.6ft and a whole lot of nothing. Don't even bother strapping the board on the roof.
So, where's the glimmer? It shows up on Thursday the 24th. We finally get a little kick of 2ft swell out of the North with a 11-second period, building to 2ft in the afternoon. The combined energy is modest in the morning but climbs to a solid 101 (moderate wave energy) by the arvo. The winds will be cross-off from the East, keeping it clean. It's still not the magic direction for Crash Boat – she needs a solid West swell to really wake up. A North swell like this will struggle to get into the main cove, but if you're willing to hunt around the edges, there might be a few clean ones.
Friday the 25th is your other option, with similar 2ft North swell and a little less period at 9 seconds. Energy is at 85, still moderate, with clean winds. That's about as good as this window gets. The water is 85°F, which is just about normal for September, so boardies and a rashguard will do you fine.
For the big-wave chargers, there's absolutely nothing here. This is strictly longboard and funboard territory, and even that's pushing it. Given the tiny surf and steady winds, a kite surfer would have a way better time on those two Thursday and Friday sessions than a paddle surfer. It's a bleak couple of weeks, but that's the way it goes at a spot that's "inconsistent." Don't lose hope – the charts always shift.
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.
