The Lowdown
Rusty here, just getting a good look at what's on offer for the next couple of weeks. I'll be straight with you, the outlook for Crash Boat is a real mixed bag, and to be honest, it's mostly a flat spell with a few tiny windows that aren't worth getting excited about.
We're starting off with absolutely nothing to ride. The first serious gap stretches from Sunday the 16th of August all the way through to, well, it’s looking like a long, long wait. For the first week, the swell energy is basically non-existent, with the combined energy reading only 11 for Sunday morning—that's weak, and it just gets smaller. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
There’s really no surf to speak of for the entire 16-day period. The wave heights barely tickle 1.0ft, and when they do, they're coming from the S or N with no period to speak of. For a sheltered spot like this, we're just not getting any fetch. Thursday morning the 20th of August offers a tiny 1.0ft from the north with a period of 7 seconds, and a glassy wind, but the combined swell energy is only 11—that's barely a ripple.
Later in the period, around Wednesday the 26th of August afternoon, we see a shift with a south wind and a short, choppy 2ft at a nasty 3-second period and combined energy of only 8, which is more of a messy wind-swell than anything with shape. That setup is more interesting for a kite surfer looking for some wind than for a paddle surfer. The rest of the week is just more of the same: tiny, weak, and inconsistent.
The truth is, Crash Boat is marked as "inconsistent," and this 16-day run shows exactly why. It’s just a normal quiet spell for the area. It sucks, but that's the way it goes. Forecasts can always change, but right now, there’s nothing on the cards to recommend.

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.
