The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again with the same look, but in feet and miles per hour.
We’ve got a solid run of surf coming into Boucan Rights. Water temp is 77°F, a touch warmer than normal. Kicks off Tuesday afternoon with small, clean 3-foot south swell, 12-second period, light cross-offshore wind at 6 mph. Moderate energy (383), not a pumping day but a start.
Wednesday morning is glassy 3-foot south swell (263 energy), then afternoon drops to 2-foot with a 14-second period – more push. Thursday follows with 3-foot in the morning, 2-foot in the afternoon, 15-16 second periods, light offshore or calm winds. Those long-period groundswells will line up nice on the reef.
Friday 21st August gets interesting. 4-foot SW groundswell (14 seconds), glassy, energy pushing 603. Saturday 22nd steps to 5-foot SW, energy near 900, dead calm – glassy all day.
Sunday 23rd August is the first standout. 7-foot from the SSW, 14-second period, energy 2025. Light offshore west wind in the morning, glassy. This is excellent, but with 7 feet it’s expert territory. Crowds are possible here.
Monday 24th stays high at 6-7 feet, energy 1845. Light offshore winds.
The absolute standout is Wednesday 26th August. Morning is 7-foot, but the afternoon brings 10-foot from the SSW, 17-second period, energy a massive 4817. Gentle offshore breeze from the SSE, so it’s clean and groomed. Only for experts.
Thursday 27th holds around 8 feet, glassy in the afternoon – excellent.
Friday 28th August sees the biggest swell: 13-foot from the SSW, 15-second period, morning energy 7656. Cross-offshore wind, clean. Experts only. The afternoon wind goes onshore, so hit the morning.
From Saturday 29th to Monday 1st, the swell eases but stays good. Saturday has 10-12 feet, with a clean offshore breeze in the afternoon. Sunday 30th drops to 7-5 feet, glassy or light offshore.
Monday 31st is smaller at 4-6 feet, but the afternoon shifts to a short 8-second SE swell with cross-onshore wind – more marginal.
Into September, Tuesday 1st and Wednesday 2nd are clean, glassy 3-3 feet SW groundswell with long periods. The last session on Wednesday 2nd afternoon is a 3-foot swell with a 19-second period, glassy – beautiful reef conditions.
Two true standouts: Sunday 23rd August for consistent, clean 7-foot groundswell, and Wednesday 26th August for the 10-foot peak with offshore winds. Experts only on those bigger days. If you’re not there yet, the earlier 3-5 foot days are your ticket.
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.
