The Lowdown
Hey everyone, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. We’ve got a proper flat spell on the cards for The Box, so don’t be in a rush to grab your board just yet.
The outlook is pretty grim for the next 16 days, with no rideable surf on offer at all. Every single session in the forecast is marked as poor surf conditions. The first few days of the period, starting Monday, July 27th, see a tiny 1ft swell from the NE with a short 6-second period, but the wave energy is a measly 19 (weak), and the wind is glassy in the morning before switching to a cross-shore breeze in the afternoon. It’s simply not enough to get excited about.
After that, Tuesday through to the end of the 16-day window, the swell either drops to nearly nothing or disappears completely, with the combined energy values spending most of their time at 0. We’re looking at a long, blank run of days with no real recommendations. For a spot that’s inconsistent like The Box, this kind of flat spell is pretty normal for the area. It’s a beach-and-reef setup that’s fairly exposed, but it’s just not getting any love from the ocean right now. Keep an eye on the forecasts, though – it tends not to stay poor for long.
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.
