The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, looking at the same stretch with a different ruler. And I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – this is a rough one. There’s barely a ripple.
The only spot we’ve got to talk about is Crash Boat. It’s a beach and reef setup that’s real sheltered, and it needs a west swell to fire. The problem is, we’re seeing nothing like that. It starts on Sunday, July 26th, with a tiny 0.7ft south swell, a super short 5-second period, and a combined energy of just 2 (weak). The water is a warm 84°, which is about average for the season. The wind is blowing offshore from the ENE, so it’ll look clean, but there’s just no power. The wave comment is blunt: "poor surf conditions."
And that’s the theme for the entire 16 days. From July 26th all the way to August 10th, it’s the same small, weak 0.7ft south swell, if there’s any swell at all. There are days with nothing, like the morning of July 28th, which is glassy flat. The wind is often offshore and clean, which is a real kick in the teeth, but the swell energy never gets above a weak 6. The period never goes past 8 seconds, so it’s all just windswell slop.
There’s a tiny blip on the morning of August 6th – a 0.3ft north swell with a very long 12-second period. But the energy is still only 5 (weak), and that long a period on a beach break usually just means it breaks straight and fast. Not worth the drive.
This is a 10-day stretch of total nothing. For a spot that’s already inconsistent, this kind of dead run is more normal than you’d want to admit. The clean offshore wind might make it look interesting for kite surfing, but for a paddle surfer, there’s nothing here. Hang in there, and wait for a real west swell to roll in. Rusty, out.

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.
