The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the charts are looking pretty bleak for the next couple of weeks. We've got a long, dry spell ahead with barely a ripple to get excited about.
The first hint of anything surfable doesn't show up until Wednesday morning, July 29th, but even then, it's a bust. We're looking at a flat ocean with no combined energy (0) and the report flat-out calls it poor surf conditions. That theme is going to stick around for a long, long time.
From Wednesday the 29th all the way through to at least Thursday, August 13th, it's a continuous run of tiny, weak leftovers. The swell height barely ever cracks 1 ft, mostly dribbling in from the S or SSE with periods so short they're hardly worth paddling for. The combined energy is laughable, almost always in the single digits. The water temp is a warm 84°F, which is about 1°F above normal for this time of year – nothing crazy, just a typical warm summer day.
We do have a couple of moments where the wind plays nice. On the morning of Wednesday, August 5th, we get a glassy period with a light NW breeze, but the swell is still a measly 0.7 ft from the S. It’s pretty, but unrideable. The afternoon of Sunday, August 9th is interesting – a 0.3 ft pulse from the N with a 13-second period pops up, with a fresh offshore wind from the ENE (19 mph). That's a long-period pulse, but it's barely a breath of swell. That same theme of fresh offshore winds (19-25 mph) holds through Monday and Tuesday, August 10th and 11th, with the forecast warning it's "hard to paddle into" – which is the truth when it's that blown out and small.
The one spot on the menu is Crash Boat, a beach and reef setup. Given the lack of any real swell, this place is a total no-go. It's sheltered to the W, and the optimum swell is from the W, but we're not seeing any of that. With the combination of almost no swell, and the wind cranking some days, this setup honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for the next two weeks.
So, bottom line: there is no standout. There is no best option. It's a flat spell, and we just have to wait it out. Forecasts can change, but for now, the board stays in the bag.
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.
