The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya from the beach. Let's get into it, and I gotta be straight with you – it's a bit of a grim stretch ahead for Crash Boat. We've got a solid 16-day window in front of us, but the ocean is just not cooperating. The first real chance of anything rideable is a long way off, so don't be holding your breath for the next week.
Right now, starting from the 5th of September, it's flat. The water's sitting at 85° which is pretty normal for this time of year, but that's about the only thing that's normal. We've got a run of days with barely a ripple, with the wave energy sitting at a pathetic (1) and (0) values through the 6th, 7th, and 8th. The swell is tiny, mostly from the South, with periods under 6 seconds. It's what we call a "non-event." This pattern of poor surf conditions and zero scores drags on for over a week. There's a big gap here with no recommendations for days.
Things start to look a little less dead around the 15th of September. A little pulse of swell from the North shows up on Tuesday afternoon, with a combined energy of (26) and a period of 9 seconds. That's not a groundswell, but it's at least something. The break is an inconsistent one, and it takes a specific west swell to really get it going, so this is a very marginal window.
The only real standout in this whole forecast is the afternoon of the 20th of September. That's a Sunday. We get a nice little spike of energy at (44) from a north swell, with a period of 12 seconds. That's a proper groundswell. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the north-northeast at 3 mph, so the face should be clean. The swell height is only 1 ft, so it's not going to be a big day, but it's the best we've got on offer. For an advanced wave that is inconsistent, you gotta be on it when it gives you a window. This is promising but far out, so keep an eye on it.
Other than that, there's a few days with small, short-period north swell (2 ft, 8 seconds) around the 16th, but the wind is a bit iffy and the energy is only around (30). It's not going to be worth the paddle.
So, truth is, for the next week and a half, you're better off finding something else to do. The forecast is poor. The one to pencil in is the 20th of September for a chance at some clean, small waves at Crash Boat. Don't get your hopes up too high, but it's the only glimmer of light.
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.
