Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve had a good hard look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks and, mate, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – it’s looking pretty grim. For a spot like The Box, which is a tricky beach and reef setup for the advanced crew, we’ve got a long, dry spell hitting us.
The forecast kicks off with nothing worth paddling out for. From Saturday the 4th of July right through to Thursday the 16th, it’s a dead run. I’m talking a solid 12 days where the best score we see is a zero – just “poor surf conditions” across the board. The combined energy readings are either zero or single digits, with the highest being a measly 38 on the 14th, but at 2ft from the NE with onshore ENE wind, that’s barely a ripple. The water temp anomaly is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there, but you’re not going to be feeling it anyway because you won't be in it.
For The Box, it’s notoriously inconsistent and this run proves it. We see a few tiny pulses – a 2ft slop on Friday the 10th with glassy wind from the N but a pathetic 4-second period and only 10 energy, and another little 2ft bump on Friday the 17th from the NNE with a cross-off NW wind, but that’s still rubbish with a 4-second period and 11 energy. Even the periods are short, under 8 seconds, which just means weak, wind-affected junk. The best on offer – if you can call it that – might be that Friday the 10th afternoon window with glassy wind, but 2ft from the N with a 4-second period is barely rideable. Considering the usual optimum swell direction here is ENE, those tiny pulses from the N or NNE are way off angle, so don’t hold your breath.
Honestly, this place just doesn’t have the goods. With that much wind and tiny swell, it’s more of a kite-foiling kind of setup than a paddle-surf scene right now. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s not super surprising given how inconsistent The Box is. Keep the board in the bag, check back in a week, and hope the models turn around.
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.
