The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a cracking run of surf coming up at Boucan Rights, and it’s all about the long, clean windows of solid SW groundswell.
The water is sitting at 77°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – a nice little bonus.
The first real call is Friday morning, 7 August. It’s not the biggest, with a 3ft SW swell, but the period is a juicy 12 seconds and the wind is glassy from the NNE. The water feels a touch warmer than normal, and the wave energy is moderate (341). It’s a gentle start, but clean.
Saturday, 8 August, is where it lifts. Morning glass with calm wind, a 4ft SW swell pushing 18-second period, and the energy is building (779). By the afternoon, it’s 4ft SW, 16 seconds, and still glassy. This is a very clean, well-shaped day.
Sunday morning, 9 August, holds the same quality: 4ft SW, 15 seconds, glassy. The afternoon gets a bit of cross-shore wind, but it’s still surfable.
Monday, 10 August, through to Wednesday morning, 12 August, keeps up the quality with 4ft SW swells, periods around 14-16 seconds, and mostly glassy or clean conditions. The energy is moderate to strong, sitting between 598 and 923. This is a solid run of fun, consistent waves.
Now, the standout window. Friday, 14 August, morning is a ripper: 6ft SW, 13 seconds, with clean offshore wind. The energy jumps to a strong 1581. Then Saturday, 15 August, is the absolute pick. The afternoon brings a 6ft SW swell, 18-second period, glassy, and the energy is pumping at 3922. This is exceptional, clean, powerful groundswell. It’s too big for beginners, but for experienced surfers, it’s as good as it gets.
Sunday, 16 August, still has size – 8ft SSW in the morning (energy 3614) is solid, but the wind is a bit cross-on. The afternoon eases to 8ft SW with glassy conditions and strong energy (2694). Monday, 17 August, stays excellent: 7ft SSW, 16 seconds, glassy in the morning, clean offshore in the afternoon. Energy is around 1900. This whole stretch from the 14th to the 17th is the best on offer – powerful, clean, and consistent.
The surf eases from Tuesday, 18 August, with 4ft SW, 16 seconds, but the wind is a bit cross-on. Afternoon gets cleaner. Wednesday, 19 August, drops to 3ft S swell, but the afternoon gets a nice gentle offshore from the SSE, making it clean. Thursday, 20 August, is glassy with 3ft SW, 16 seconds – a mellow, clean finish.
The last few days, 21-22 August, hold 3-4ft SW swells with periods around 13-16 seconds, mostly glassy. A nice way to wind down.
Crowds are likely at Boucan Rights – it’s a reef break that works well, and with this quality, you’ll have company. But the trade-off is worth it.
Rusty.

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