Boucan Rights Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at the only game in town.

We've got one spot on the menu: Boucan Rights (a reef break for advanced crew only). The water's sitting at a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, about 77°F.

Right off the bat, Wednesday morning the 8th of July is looking fun but nothing wild. We've got a solid 5ft of S swell, with a period of 11 seconds and the combined swell energy is moderate at 609. A light cross-off breeze from the SSW should keep things reasonably clean. The afternoon gets a bit more iffy with a cross-shore wind. It's surfable, but not the pick of the run.

Thursday the 9th drops off a fair bit. Morning has a glassy 3ft from the S (302 energy), and it gets even smaller into the afternoon. A bit of a lull.

Friday the 10th is where it starts to sparkle. We get a glassy 3ft from the SW, but check this out: the period jumps to 15 seconds in the morning and 14 seconds in the afternoon. That's proper groundswell. The combined energy climbs to 582 in the afternoon, and with the glassy conditions, this is going to be clean and lined up. A reef break like Boucan Rights loves a long period SW pulse.

Now, Saturday the 11th of July is the standout of the whole run. Saturday morning hits with a 5ft SW groundswell at 15 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 1093 – that's strong. Winds are glassy. This is proper, heavy, clean reef surf for the experienced. The afternoon only gets better, pushing 6ft at 15 seconds with 1361 energy. This is the session to circle.

Sunday the 12th gets even bigger, with 8ft of SW swell, but it's now over that expert threshold. The energy is through the roof at 2860. It's clean with offshore winds in the morning, but this is serious, heavy water. Only for the most skilled.

The swell hangs in all through the following week, with solid 7ft and 6ft swells on Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th, all glassy and clean. Excellent conditions for the advanced surfer.

There's a bit of a drop-off from the 15th to the 19th, with smaller swell and a day or two of questionable conditions. The 16th and 17th see a nice little spike from the S with a very long 18-second period on the 17th morning, but energy is moderate.

Then, Monday the 20th of July brings another absolute banger. We're looking at a 7ft SW swell at 16 seconds, with a combined energy of 2251. Glassy in the morning. This is another one for the experts, a proper groundswell pulse. The 21st keeps the goodness going with 7ft and clean offshore winds.

After that, things taper off through the 22nd and 23rd with smaller but still glassy and fun waves to finish the outlook.

So, to put it plain: Boucan Rights is the spot. The absolute best on offer is Saturday the 11th of July – that 5ft to 6ft SW groundswell with glassy wind is as good as it gets. The second big highlight is Monday the 20th of July, for another big, clean SW pulse. If you're advanced, you know what to do.

Rusty.
