The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
First off, I gotta be straight with you – it's a rough stretch ahead. We're looking at a solid 16-day run with nothing but poor surf conditions. The only spot in the game is Crash Boat, a beach and reef setup, but it's a real inconsistent wave that's sheltered from the main swell. The optimum swell direction is from the W, but we're not seeing that at all.
We start on Friday, August 7th, with a tiny 0.3ft swell from the S, but the wave energy is weak (1). The wind is blowing offshore from the ENE, which is a positive, keeping things clean, but there's just no power in the water. The water temperature is sitting at 85°, which is a bit warmer than usual for this time of year, but that's about the only interesting thing.
Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th are basically flat with no swell registered. The wind stays offshore, making it glassy, but you're just floating. Then from Monday the 10th through the entire run, we're stuck on a 0.3ft to 1.0ft southerly swell. The period is all over the place, from a short 5 seconds up to a 14-second groundswell on Thursday the 13th, but the energy is still pitifully low, never cracking double digits. We get a tiny window of 7 units of energy on that Thursday afternoon, but it’s still a 0.3ft wave.
The wind is almost always offshore from the ENE, which is great for the surface, but it's like polishing a turd. There's a glimmer of glassy conditions on the morning of Tuesday, August 18th, with the wind shifting to the ESE, but the swell is still just 0.7ft. The whole period is a dead loss for any kind of proper surfing.
Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer looking for a flat-water session than a paddle surfer. The waves simply aren't there. The forecast can change, but for now, save your energy and don't bother paddling out.
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.
