The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, talking the same swell in feet and miles per hour.
The water is at 77°F, running a touch warmer than usual for the season.
First waves arrive Wednesday morning, 19 August – a clean 3ft S swell with glassy conditions and moderate energy (263). Thursday, 20 August sees a 3ft SW groundswell at 16 seconds, glassy all day – a nice little session.
Friday, 21 August is a big step up: 4ft SW swell, 14 seconds, energy 611, glassy in the morning and clean in the afternoon. Very good.
Saturday, 22 August – morning is 5ft SW with onshore wind, so skip it. The afternoon is the payoff: 5ft SW, glassy, energy 1048 – excellent for advanced surfers.
Sunday, 23 August is the first real standout. Morning: 8ft SW groundswell, 14 seconds, energy 2155, glassy. Afternoon: 7ft, still glassy, energy 1895. This is excellent, clean, and powerful. Experts only.
Monday, 24 August – 8ft SSW in the morning with a light cross-onshore. The afternoon glass-off is 8ft SSW, excellent. Energy over 2000.
Tuesday, 25 August – 6ft SSW, glassy morning, clean and very good.
Wednesday, 26 August – morning clean at 5ft SSW. The afternoon gets a very long-period (18 seconds) 5ft SW swell with energy 2115, clean but a bit ripply.
Thursday, 27 August – the standout. Morning: 12ft SSW, 20-second period, energy 8726, gentle offshore. Afternoon: 13ft SSW, 18 seconds, energy 9725, still offshore. This is exceptional for experts.
Friday, 28 August – still huge at 12ft SSW, but a light cross-onshore in the morning. The afternoon glass-off at 12ft is cleaner.
Saturday, 29 August – 8ft SSW, glassy all day, excellent. Energy 2480.
Sunday, 30 August – 5ft SSW, light cross-onshore in the morning, glassy afternoon.
Monday, 31 August – small: 3ft SSW to 4ft SSW, glassy.
Tuesday, 1 September – 4ft SSW, clean morning, glassy afternoon.
Wednesday, 2 September – 3ft SSW morning, then 3ft SW with a 16-second period and glassy conditions. Energy 812.
Thursday, 3 September – 4ft SW, 16 seconds, glassy all day.
The two best days are Sunday, 23 August – clean and powerful – and Thursday, 27 August – massive, offshore, and exceptional. Crowds are likely, so be early.
Rusty out.

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.
Boucan Rights is 4 km (2 miles) from Saint-Paul. If you plan a holiday in Réunion Island, look for hotels and other accommodation in Saint-Paul. Saint-Paul has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
