Alright, my mates, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s on the menu.
We’re looking at Boucan Rights as the main spot for the next two weeks. It’s an advanced reef break, wide open to the SW swell. The water is around 77°, which is a bit warmer than normal for this time of year, so the boardies should be fine.
The action starts proper on Tuesday morning, August 11th. There’s a clean 4ft swell from the SW with a nice long 14-second period and a light northerly breeze. The energy is moderate but building (610). It’s a solid start, and the afternoon gets even better with a clean cross-off breeze.
Wednesday the 12th is much the same, with consistent 4ft to 4ft SW swell. The afternoon session on Wednesday is a real gem – glassy, barely a breath of wind, and clean lines. Nothing huge, but a lot of fun.
The first big tick of the week is Friday, August 14th. The swell jumps to about 5ft from the SSW, the period drops a tick to 13 seconds but the energy is cranking up (1087). The morning is dead calm and glassy. This is excellent for anyone with some experience.
The absolute standout, though, is Saturday, the 15th. By the afternoon, we’ve got a solid 7ft of long-period SSW groundswell (19 seconds). The energy is massive (5037). The wind is completely calm. Glass. This is exceptional, heavy reef wave and it is for experts only. Circle this one on the calendar.
Sunday the 16th holds that power with nearly 8ft in the morning, still glassy, but it’s big and mean. The swell eases down through Monday and Tuesday, but the quality stays high.
Looking into the second week, the pulse returns. Friday, August 21st brings a new SW swell: 6ft in the morning with a 20-second period, building to a solid 10ft by the afternoon. The wind stays cross-off, so it stays clean.
But the real beast is Tuesday, August 25th. We’re talking a massive 13ft SSW groundswell, 20-second period, with an energy reading that’s insane at 11148. The morning is dead calm. This is a once-in-a-while size event for this break. Experts only, no exceptions. If you’re good enough, it will be the wave of your life.
Keep in mind, Boucan Rights gets crowded often, so get there early for those best sessions.
That’s the long and short of it.

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.
