Boucan Rights Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a solid run of surf on the horizon, but it’s a slow start. The first few days are small and weak, so don’t rush out just yet. The real magic starts to build from the end of this week and into the next, with a couple of absolute standouts that’ll have your heart racing.

The first real action is at Boucan Rights, a reef setup that needs a bit of patience. Thursday the 16th is a write-off, with poor, weak 2ft SW swell and barely any energy (166). But Friday morning the 17th sees a shift: a clean 2ft S swell with a nice 17-second period, glassy conditions, and moderate energy (373). The vibe picks up Friday afternoon with a stronger 4ft S swell (16-second period), clear skies, and a clean cross-off wind – very good surf. Saturday the 18th stays clean with glassy 3ft S swell in the morning and clean 3ft SSW swell in the afternoon. Sunday the 19th is more of the same: glassy 3ft SW swell in the morning and a very clean 3ft SW swell in the afternoon. Energy is climbing, hitting 511 on Sunday afternoon.

Now, here’s where it gets good. Monday the 20th is a standout. The morning brings a clean 6ft SW swell with a 14-second period, glassy wind, and strong energy (1106). This is excellent for experienced surfers. The afternoon gets even better: 7ft SSW swell, glassy, and energy jumping to 1624. Tuesday the 21st keeps the quality high with 7ft SSW swell and clean conditions, and Wednesday the 22nd is the same – excellent 6ft to 6ft S swell with glassy wind. The energy is through the roof, over 1000 each day.

The second week looks promising but a bit more of a mixed bag. Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th are still very good, with clean 4ft to 4ft S and SW swell. Saturday the 25th is clean but smaller. Then Sunday the 26th gets interesting again: the morning has an 8ft SW swell (16-second period) but with a cross-shore wind, making it marginal. The afternoon, however, is glassy with the same 8ft SW swell and massive energy (2845). Monday the 27th is the true standout of the entire forecast. The morning is glassy with an 8ft SW swell (16 seconds) and a huge 3752 energy. The afternoon is a dream: a 6ft SW swell with an incredible 22-second period, clean cross-off wind, and a colossal 5840 energy. This is exceptional for experts.

After that, the swell gets too big for Boucan Rights. Tuesday the 28th sees 16ft SSW swell – way too big. Wednesday the 29th is still massive (13ft to 12ft), but the afternoon on the 29th is glassy and exceptional for experts. Thursday the 30th is excellent and clean with 8ft to 7ft SSW swell. But the real cherry on top is Friday the 31st. The morning has an 12ft SW swell with a 20-second period, glassy, and energy of 9792. The afternoon is a 13ft SSW swell with a 19-second period, glassy, and energy of 9869. Both are exceptional for expert surfers.

One thing to note: the water temperature is sitting at 76°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

So, the best on offer? Monday the 27th afternoon is the absolute standout – that 22-second groundswell is a thing of beauty. Friday the 31st is the other big one, with massive, glassy, long-period swell. Crowds are often a factor here, so be ready for company.

Rusty.
