The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's happening in the water for the next couple of weeks.
Truth is, it's a rough stretch. The Box is an inconsistent spot, and this forecast is living up to that reputation. We're looking at a long, dry run with nothing to get the blood pumping. The combined swell energy is a weak (8) or less for most of it, and the swell is coming from the Northeast, which isn't the ideal ENE direction for this break.
Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th are a total loss. Tiny, gutless swell and messy cross-shore winds. Saturday and Sunday, the 25th and 26th, the swell picks up a touch but the wind is a nightmare – cross-onshore and howling, making it choppy and lumpy. The swell energy is still weak, peaking at (95) on Sunday afternoon, but it's short-period, junk windswell.
We finally get a tiny window on Tuesday morning, the 28th of July. The wind goes light and cross-offshore from the SSW, and the report says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." The swell is about 3ft at 8 seconds from the NE, with a combined energy of (96). That's the best we've got. It's nothing special, but it's the only time the wind and waves even try to line up. If you're itching, that's your shot.
After that, it's back to flat or tiny, choppy slop all the way through to the 7th of August. There are gaps of several days with zero surfable energy, and the combined energy readings are all in the single digits. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
This is just a classic quiet spell for the area. It doesn't stay poor for long, but for now, the forecast is a dud. The setup is so weak and onshore for most of it, it's looking more like a kiteboarding scene than a surf spot.
Rusty.

Information about the The Box Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for The Box provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at The Box can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our The Box 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 (The Box) 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 The Box 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.
The Box is 4 km (2 miles) from Javea. If you plan a holiday in Valencia, look for hotels and other accommodation in Javea. Javea has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
