The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. For the next 16 days, there’s barely a ripple worth paddling for at Crash Boat. The whole run is a write-off – no decent swell, no real energy, and nothing that’ll get your heart racing. The first real chance to even think about a wave comes in the second week, but even then it’s a long shot.
Right now, from Friday 4th September, it’s flat. The combined energy of all swells is zero (0). You’re looking at a big gap of nothing until at least Wednesday 16th September. The water is sitting at about 86°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – about 2°F above average, so not a shocker, but it’s a lazy bath.
On Wednesday 16th September, we finally see a hint of life. The swell direction is from the North, with a height of 1ft and a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is still weak (23). It’s not much, but it’s the best of a bad lot. The wind is offshore from the ENE at 9 mph, which will keep the surface clean. That’s your only real window, and it’s a tiny one. This spot is a sheltered beach and reef, inconsistent, and rarely breaks. For an advanced crew, it’s a novelty, but don’t expect much.
The rest of the days are all poor surf conditions – flat, tiny, or cross-off winds. The swell never gets above 2ft, and the period is mostly short, under 8 seconds. The combined energy never cracks three digits, peaking at a measly 74 on Thursday 10th September afternoon. That’s still weak. For the most part, the wind is light and variable, but it doesn’t matter with no swell.
If you’re desperate, the 16th offers a tiny, clean, offshore wave. But honestly, it’s more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. The forecast beyond that into the weekend of 19th September is still flat as a tack. Grab a coffee, watch the horizon, and wait for a better run. This is a dry spell, plain and simple.
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.
