The Lowdown

Alright, this is a bit of a tough one to call. Looking out over the next couple of weeks, the pattern is pretty flat. There’s a whole lot of nothing on the cards for a while, so don’t get your hopes up for a quick fix.

We start off with a few days of clean but tiny conditions. Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th are a no-go, with swell barely a whisper. The combined energy is just sitting at 13 and 29, which is weak. It’s not until we hit the 25th of August that things start to look a little more interesting. The morning of the 25th brings a small pulse of swell, 3 ft from the NE with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 117, which is moderate, but honestly, it’s still a bit messy.

The real standout, if you can call it that, is the afternoon of Saturday the 30th. It’s a long way out, so keep that in mind, but the forecast has a glassy morning with 2 ft from the NE. The wind is set to be glassy, which is a major positive for clean conditions. The water temperature is sitting at 85°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, but nothing too wild.

Honestly, for the whole 16-day window, there’s nothing that’s going to get your heart racing. The breaks here are fairly consistent, but this is a pretty blank run for the area. It’s one of those times where you’re better off looking for something else to do. The swell is just too small and the energy is too weak to make a proper session worthwhile. The best bet is that glassy Sunday morning on the 30th, but it’s a long shot and a long wait.

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.
