Boucan Rights Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got a solid run of surf coming up, all focused on one spot: Boucan Rights. This is a reef break that needs a bit of respect – it’s for advanced surfers only. The whole 16-day window is pretty much locked in, starting with a good little pulse on Thursday the 23rd.

Thursday the 23rd kicks things off with a clean 5ft S swell, period around 12 seconds, and a moderate offshore breeze out of the south. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The combined energy is sitting at a moderate 845, and it’s looking clean and fun for an afternoon session.

Friday the 24th is where it starts to get interesting. The morning turns glassy with a light NW breeze, and the swell has shifted to a touch more west in the direction, 4ft, but the period jumps to 15 seconds. That’s proper groundswell, and with the reef setup, it’ll be lining up beautifully. The energy is moderate at 808, but the quality will feel higher. Saturday the 25th is a carbon copy condition-wise – glassy mornings, light offshores, same mellow 4ft to 4ft swell. This is the kind of clean, shoulder-high reef surfing you dream about.

Now, Sunday the 26th and Monday the 27th get a bit bumpy. The swell fills in, but the wind goes cross-shore or onshore, and the waves get a bit messy. Monday morning sees the swell jump to 8ft, but it’s onshore, so it’s going to be a washing machine. The energy is strong (2944) but the quality is poor. This is more of a kite-surfing day than a paddle day.

Then we hit the real standout. Tuesday the 28th is an absolute gem. The morning is glassy, with a 6ft SW swell at 14 seconds. The energy is pumping (2317), and the wind is calm. It’s clean, powerful, and perfect for the experienced crew. The afternoon gets even better – 7ft, 17-second period, glassy again. That’s a monster of a groundswell, and on a reef, it’s going to be world-class. The energy is a strong 2699. This is the best on offer for the whole outlook.

Wednesday the 29th and Thursday the 30th ease back slightly but stay clean, with 5ft to 4ft swells and glassy or light offshore conditions. Good, solid, consistent surf.

The next big highlight is Friday the 31st of July. The morning delivers a solid 8ft SSW swell, period 16 seconds, and glassy conditions. The energy is very strong at 3795. This is for experts only – it’s big, powerful, and will be barreling. The afternoon stays big at 8ft and glassy. If you’re advanced, this is your session.

The first week of August settles down a bit. Saturday the 1st has some onshore wind in the morning but cleans up by afternoon. Sunday the 2nd is glassy with a 4ft SW swell, and the breeze is offshore. For the rest of the run, through to Friday the 7th, we see consistent 3ft to 4ft swells, mostly glassy or clean, with period dropping to 13-14 seconds. The energy is moderate (around 600-800). A solid, fun run of smaller waves to finish the outlook.

The absolute standout sessions are Tuesday the 28th and Friday the 31st of July. Tuesday is the best all-rounder – big, clean, and glassy. Friday is the big-wave day for the hardcore crew. Crowds are possible at Boucan Rights, so get there early if you want a piece of this.

Rusty.
