Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – the next 16 days at The Box are a tough watch. This is a long, quiet stretch. The forecast is showing very little to get excited about, with poor surf conditions pretty much across the board. Let's walk through it.
Starting Friday the 3rd, we’ve got tiny 2ft swell from the NE with a short period of 8 seconds and weak energy (35). The wind is cross-shore and light, but with that tiny size, it's barely a ripple. Saturday the 4th offers 2ft of the same NE swell, but at least the wind goes offshore in the morning, cleaning it up – still, it's small and the period is only 7 seconds. That holds through Sunday the 5th when the swell just drops away, and we're looking at practically nothing for the next several days.
From Monday the 6th through to at least Thursday the 9th, the energy is flat – we're seeing zeroes on the board and nothing above 0.3ft. A blank run like this is more normal for an inconsistent spot like The Box when the conditions don't line up. There’s a tiny bump on the 11th and 12th, with 2ft swell from the E on Saturday the 11th (energy 20), but the wind is messy cross-shore to cross-onshore. The morning of Sunday the 12th goes glassy – perfect for clean conditions – but we're talking 2ft of 6-second windswell. It’s surfable but not a standout.
Honestly, the only period that catches the eye – and I'm being generous – is the morning of Tuesday the 14th. We get a modest 3ft ESE swell (energy 75), with a light cross-shore breeze. That’s the biggest wave height in the whole forecast, but it’s still small, and the break is inconsistent by nature. It'll be fun for a quick session if you're local and desperate, but don't drive hours for it.
After the 14th, it trails off again into tiny, weak, and mostly choppy conditions right through to the 18th. No standouts here, folks. The Box is a rare-break, advanced spot, and a reef setup, so keep an eye on the forecasts – sometimes a late change can bring something decent, but this run looks grim.
Stay patient.
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.
