The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. We got some waves lining up at Boucan Rights, but you gotta pick your windows.
The first solid opportunity is Friday morning, September 4th, with a clean, glassy 0.7m SSW swell. Water is a touch warmer than usual at 25°, so it feels good. Friday afternoon picks up to 1.4m but gets bumpy with onshore wind. Saturday the 5th is a write-off for the morning, but Saturday afternoon cleans up nicely with a cross-offshore breeze and a fun 1.4m SW swell.
For the experienced crew, Monday the 7th of September is the first real call. Morning brings a clean 2.0m SSW swell with cross-off winds, building to 2.4m by the afternoon with clean offshore wind.
But the standout is Tuesday the 8th of September. Tuesday morning delivers a clean 2.5m SSW groundswell with a 16-second period and a gentle offshore breeze. Tuesday afternoon goes ballistic with a clean 3.0m SSW swell. The energy is huge (6564) and this is for experts only.
Then Wednesday the 9th of September is the big dog. Glassy, 3.5m SSW groundswell with an 18-second period—that’s a very long period groundswell that will throw some serious power on this reef. Energy readings are insane (7633). The afternoon stays glassy with 3.0m. Strictly for the pros.
From Thursday the 10th through the weekend, it's fun, consistent chest-to-head high SSW swell with clean conditions, but nothing like that mid-week blast. Crowds are likely here, so be ready for company.
In the second week, keep an eye on Wednesday the 16th of September for another round of excellent, glassy 2.5m to 3.0m SSW swell. It looks promising.
The best bet is Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th of September for the biggest, cleanest surf. After that, Wednesday the 16th is the one to circle.
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.
