The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk about Crash Boat in feet and miles per hour. Honestly, it’s a grim picture. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing to start.
Right now, through the first week, you’re looking at surf barely a foot or less from the S, with almost no energy at all. The wind is offshore and clean, but there’s nothing to ride. Water temp is about 85°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, but you won’t be surfing anyway.
It stays flat until late in the second week. Around Saturday the 22nd, we get a little pulse from the N with some 10-second intervals and energy picking up to 34. By Sunday morning the 23rd, we’ve got the best of the whole run: about 2ft from the N, period at 10 seconds, clean cross-off winds. The energy hits 48. Afternoon looks similar, 2ft with a 9-second period, clean offshore wind, energy up to 63. That’s the standout session for the whole 16 days.
The direction isn’t perfect for this spot, but it’s the only real window you get. Keep in mind, crowds show up here sometimes. Anything bigger than 2ft would be rough, so beginners can handle it. The long period might make the waves a bit walled for the beach-and-reef setup, but it’s the best you’ll see. After Monday the 24th, it fades back to nothing.
It’s a tough call, but that Sunday the 23rd is your one shot.
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.
