The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and here’s the outlook for Boucan Rights over the next couple of weeks.
Alright, we’ve got a bit of a wait before things really get cooking. The first couple of days are looking pretty average—small, onshore wind, nothing to get excited about. But don't write this stretch off; from Saturday the 12th, it starts to look much more interesting.
The standout window kicks off Saturday morning. The swell jumps to a clean 4.6 ft from the SSW with a 14-second period, and we’re looking at glassy conditions with no wind. This is a proper window for an advanced reef break like this. The combined energy is solid moderate (784). Saturday afternoon stays glassy and clean with 4.3 ft SSW swell.
Sunday the 13th is another strong day. The afternoon brings a nice 6.2 ft SSW swell, 16-second period, with glassy conditions. The energy is strong (1857), and it's labeled excellent for experienced surfers. That’s your call.
Tuesday the 15th is an absolute standout. Morning has a long-period 4.6 ft SW groundswell (18 seconds) with glassy conditions and a combined energy of 2128—that’s strong. Afternoon is 5.2 ft SW at 17 seconds, still glassy, energy at 1735. This is the kind of power that makes a reef like Boucan Rights really light up, though that long period might make it a bit walled-up at times. For experienced crew, this is the pick of the forecast.
Wednesday the 16th is big, with 8.2 ft SSW swell in the morning and 7.5 ft in the afternoon, both glassy, and energy readings of 2899 and 2197. That’s expert territory for sure—too much for most.
The following week from the 18th settles down. The swell drops and conditions get a bit more mixed until a late burst around Saturday the 26th. That afternoon shows a 4.3 ft SSW swell with a very long 17-second period and glassy conditions, energy climbing back up to 2339. That’s a promising but more distant call.
Water temps are around 75.6°, about 1.8° warmer than usual for this time of year.
Crowds are listed as likely at Boucan Rights, so on those glassy, solid days, you won't be alone, but the quality should be worth sharing a few waves.

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.
