Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a straight-up look at what's on the cards for the Wilderness stretch. I gotta be honest with you, looking at this 16-day window, it's a flat spell of near-nothingness. We've got a long, drawn-out gap with no proper surf to speak of, so don't be holding your breath for any solid waves to light up the coast.
Starting now and stretching through the first week, it's grim. The swell is tiny, mostly below 1 ft and barely registering on the energy scale. The wind is all over the place, but it doesn't matter because there's just nothing to push around. We're looking at a whole bunch of poor surf conditions, day after day. The combined swell energy is in the single digits or low teens – honestly, your paddle will get more of a workout than your pop-up.
There is a slight flicker of something around Thursday the 9th of July in the afternoon. We see a small bump to 4 ft from the NE with period at 7 seconds and the energy climbs to 107. But it's still written off as poor. The winds go offshore from the ENE at 16 mph, which would clean things up, but that swell is just too weak and short-period to hold any interest. It’s a tease.
The second week is more of the same. From the 11th through to the 19th, it's a desert. Tiny windswell bumps that never get above 0.7 ft and periods that are all over the shop. The water temp is sitting at a warm 84°F, which is about a degree and a half warmer than usual for this time of year, but that's small comfort when you're bobbing around on flat water.
Honestly, for Wilderness, this is just one of those blank runs. The setup here – a beach and reef mix – is exposed enough, but there's simply no energy in the water to make it work. If you see any whitecaps out there, it'll be the 19 mph winds, not a breaking wave. This kind of stretch is pretty normal for this area when the swell windows close up.
Keep the board in the car, but maybe save the petrol. Forecasts can change, but from here, it’s a long wait.
Rusty.

Information about the Wilderness Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Wilderness provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Wilderness can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Wilderness 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 (Wilderness) 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 Wilderness 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.
Wilderness is 5 km (3 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.
