The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Let me tell you, it’s a tough stretch ahead for our local lineup at Crash Boat. We’ve got a 16-day window here, and honestly, there isn’t a single decent wave on offer. The whole period is a write-off for paddle surfing.
From this Friday morning the 17th of July right through to Saturday the 1st of August, the swell is tiny. We're looking at swell heights of just 0.3ft to 0.7ft, coming from the south with a period that’s mostly around 5 seconds – that’s weak, short-period windswell with hardly any push. The combined energy is pitiful, sitting at 2 (2) or lower, often just 1 or even 0. The water temp is 84°F with a 1°F anomaly, so it’s about average for this time of year, but that’s not much comfort when there’s nothing to ride.
The wind is offshore most of the time, which would usually be a major positive, but with no swell, it’s just a clean, empty ocean. On Wednesday the 22nd of July morning it goes glassy, and there are a few days with glassy or offshore conditions, but the wave comment is consistently “poor surf conditions” and the score is a flat 0 out of 10.
Because this break is a sheltered beach and reef setup, the lack of swell is pretty normal for this area when there’s nothing moving in. Even though the wind is good, the energy just isn’t there. If it were bigger, the offshore winds and consistent conditions might make it interesting for kite surfing, but as it stands, it’s a flat spell. Forecasts can change, but right now, don't bother paddling out until we see something new.
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.
