The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here with a look at the next couple of weeks for Boucan Rights. This is a solid reef break that’s best for experienced surfers, and it’s exposed to the swell. We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but once it gets going, it has some real moments.
The water is sitting at about 75.9°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Right off the bat on Wednesday the 9th, we are served up a beauty. This is the standout. A clean, glassy afternoon with a decent 11.5ft swell from the SSW, pushing a massive amount of energy (6300). The period is a long 17 seconds, which means raw power and well-shaped lines. This is proper, expert-level surf. However, a wave that size at a consistent spot like this means you’re not going to have it to yourself. It’s likely to be crowded.
The next few days ease back into the 3ft to 7ft range and remain very clean with mostly glassy conditions. Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th offer good, clean surf for experienced surfers. By Friday afternoon, the swell drops to 2.3ft, but it’s still got a very long 18-second period from the SSW. That long period on a reef break like this can produce some really nice, lined-up waves.
We get a nice pulse of energy building into Sunday the 13th. That morning, you’re looking at 4.9ft at a 17-second period (1722) with light glassy conditions. The afternoon holds 6.2ft with clean cross-offshore winds. Excellent quality surf for the experienced crew.
The second week starts to look promising further out. Monday the 22nd offers a glassy 4.3ft, 16-second period swell (1055) from the SW during the afternoon. That’s a solid call for clean conditions.
Then, the best option of the second week shows up on Wednesday the 23rd. The afternoon session will be glassy with a solid 8.2ft, 17-second period swell from the SSW, and a massive energy reading (3576). That’s another serious, expert-sized day. Definitely promising, though a bit far out to lock in plans.

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.
