The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s break down what’s coming for Boucan Rights.
We start slow. From Wednesday 2nd through Thursday 3rd September, the swell is tiny—around 1ft to 2ft from the SW. The water temp is sitting at 76°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. It’s glassy in the mornings, but these waves are just too small to get excited about. The combined wave energy is weak, between 80 and 146.
Then things change. Friday 4th September is where it wakes up. The morning has a clean 2ft SW swell with a period of 19 seconds, and the energy jumps to 463. That’s a long-period groundswell, and it’s glassy. The afternoon gets even better—5ft from the SW, period 17 seconds, and the combined energy goes through the roof at 1221. The wind is glassy, and the conditions are excellent for experienced surfers. This is a standout. The swell direction of SW matches the optimum here. Crowds are likely, so get in early.
Saturday 5th September holds some size. The morning has 5ft SW swell, period 14 seconds, and 1016 energy, but the wind is a light cross-shore, putting a little texture on it. The afternoon cleans up with cross-offshore winds and 5ft swell. Sunday 6th September has a glassy afternoon with 4ft SW swell and 812 energy—clean and fun.
But the real fire comes Monday 7th September. The morning has 6ft SSW swell, period 14 seconds, and 1460 energy, with clean cross-offshore winds. The afternoon is even better: 7ft SSW swell, period 14 seconds, 1913 energy, and offshore winds. This is excellent for experienced surfers.
Now, Tuesday 8th September is the big one. The morning has 10ft SSW swell, 15 second period, and a massive 5306 energy. The afternoon peaks at 12ft SSW swell, 15 second period, and 7246 energy—that’s very strong. The wind is offshore and clean. This is exceptional surf, but it’s only for experts. Over 8ft is going to be too much for anyone who isn’t dialed in. The period is 15 seconds, very long, and this is a reef break, so it handles that energy well.
Wednesday 9th September still has size—12ft in the morning, 10ft in the afternoon—but the wind goes cross-shore, and the conditions are marginal.
Thursday 10th September has a glassy afternoon with 5ft SW swell and 1485 energy—clean and excellent for experienced surfers.
After that, the swell drops back. Friday 11th through Sunday 13th September sees 3ft to 4ft waves, mostly clean but with some cross-onshore winds.
But then, Tuesday 15th September lights up again. The morning has 8ft SSW swell, period 16 seconds, 2964 energy, and glassy conditions. The afternoon is 7ft, period 16 seconds, 2359 energy, and glassy. That’s excellent for experienced surfers and a real second-week standout.
From Wednesday 16th to Thursday 17th September, we’ve got 5ft to 8ft SSW swell, with clean afternoons and glassy moments.
The best bet? Friday 4th September afternoon for a solid, clean, long-period swell, and Tuesday 8th September for the expert-level, massive energy. Tuesday 15th September is also promising, but it’s further out, so less certain.
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.
