The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's talk about this stretch in feet and miles.
We're looking at Boucan Rights, a reef spot for the advanced surfer. The water is 77°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
Things start Thursday morning, August 6th. Clean, glassy with a 3ft swell from the SW, 13-second period. The energy is moderate. The afternoon is glassy too, with a 3ft SSW swell.
Friday morning, August 7th, is the same: 2-3ft, glassy. The afternoon drops off to tiny, washout stuff.
Saturday morning, August 8th, is a gamble. The swell picks up to 3-4ft with a long 18-second period, but the conditions are unknown. Saturday afternoon is where it gets good: 4ft from the SW, 16 seconds, glassy, and the energy is building.
Sunday, August 9th, is a beauty. Glassy all day, 4ft SW swell at 15 seconds. Clean lines on the reef.
Monday, August 10th, the wind turns cross-onshore, messing up the face. Still 4ft, but not as clean.
The real standout window starts Tuesday, August 11th, with glassy 4ft waves. That holds through Wednesday, August 12th.
But the best of the best is Saturday, August 15th. The morning serves up a solid 4-5ft SW swell, but the period is a massive 20 seconds. The energy is huge. And it's glassy. This is an excellent call for experienced surfers, with long, clean lines. The afternoon is a 6ft S swell, but the wind is onshore.
Then, Sunday, August 16th morning, is the big one for the experts. We're looking at a solid 10ft of SSW swell with a 17-second period. The energy is massive. The wind is a clean cross-off. This is a heavy, powerful day for the brave. The afternoon is still 8ft, but the wind is onshore.
After that, it settles. The 17th and 18th have some nice glassy, smaller waves. The 20th and 21st look like a good return to fun, clean 4ft conditions.
So, for the best of the run, set your alarm for Saturday morning, August 15th. That's the one with the combination of size, that crazy long period, and glassy wind. The Sunday morning, August 16th, is the biggest, but it's a monster for experts only. Saturday is the ticket.
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.
