The Lowdown
Alright, let’s be straight about this. The surf is dead. We’ve got a long, flat spell ahead, over a week with absolutely nothing breaking. The ocean is going to be a lake.
The first hint of a ride pops up on Saturday the 29th—a tiny 0.2m south swell with a weak 5-second period. Not worth the effort. The energy in the water is minimal, sitting at just 2.
Monday the 31st brings a little more, a 0.6m south-southeast swell, period still short at 5 seconds. Combined energy is up to 17, and early morning looks clean with light winds. It’s something, but barely.
The pick of the week, and I mean that with a huge grain of salt, is Wednesday morning, the 2nd of September. The wind is glassy, completely calm, and although the swell is just 0.2m, that clean surface will be a pleasure. It’ll be quiet and peaceful out there.
It then flatlines again. The rest of the second week keeps the south swell dribbling in at 0.2m or 0.3m. The period does improve a bit on the 9th and 10th of September, reaching 8-9 seconds, but there’s no size behind it. Winds are consistently offshore and clean, which would be great if there was anything to ride.
For the casual surfer, don't bother. Crash Boat is sheltered from this weak swell, and with the energy this low, it's a full-on blank run. Still, the water temp is normal for the season at 29°, so it’s not a bad day for a swim. But for waves? You’re out of luck.

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.
