Boucan Rights Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get stuck into this one.

Looks like we've got a decent run of surf on the cards, starting this Saturday. The standout period is really going to be the middle of next week, when things get properly solid.

We'll kick things off at Boucan Rights. Right now, water temp is sitting at 75°, which is pretty much what you'd expect for this time of year – nothing unusual there.

First up, Saturday the 12th is a nice little warm-up. Glassy conditions, wind is dead calm from the WNW at 3 mph, and we've got a clean 5ft SSW swell, with a long 14-second period. The combined energy is moderate (784). It's a reef break, so that long period will give it some proper shape. This is a great session for getting back into the groove. Crowds can be a thing here, so get in early.

Sunday the 13th picks up. The swell bumps to 5ft in the morning and 6ft in the afternoon from the SSW, with the period stretching out to 17 seconds. The afternoon window is the pick with clean, cross-off winds. The energy is strong (1820 in the morning, 1857 in the afternoon). This is where it starts getting good.

Now, Monday the 14th is a bit of a mixed bag. The morning has some cross-shore wind making things a little messy. Stick to the afternoon when a moderate SSE breeze at 9 mph goes offshore, cleaning up that 5ft SW swell. It’ll be good.

Alright, here's the heart of it. Tuesday the 15th is the absolute standout. We're looking at glassy conditions all day. The swell is 5ft to 6ft from the SSW, driven by a very long 18-second period in the morning dropping to 17 seconds in the afternoon. The energy is pumping – 2132 in the morning and a whopping 2404 in the afternoon. This is the best session of the entire forecast. Get on it.

Wednesday the 16th keeps the size up with 8ft in the morning and 8ft in the afternoon. At 8ft, this is getting into expert territory only. The morning has some crosswind, but the afternoon is glassy again with a light ESE breeze. The energy is still very strong (2721 morning). It's a beast, but if you're skilled, the afternoon session will be unreal.

Thursday the 17th is a slight drop-off, but still a super fun day. Glassy conditions all day with a clean 5ft S swell dropping to 4ft. Good energy levels (775).

From Friday the 19th onwards, the swell really backs off, dropping to under 3ft for a good stretch. There's still some rideable waves, especially on Saturday the 19th afternoon with a glassy 3ft SW swell, and then again on Tuesday the 22nd afternoon, when a new pulse of 5ft SSW swell at 19 seconds rolls in with clean offshore winds. That Tuesday afternoon session late in the period is another little gem – good energy (1753) and clean.

The surf then fades again towards the 27th, with small, clean but weak conditions.

So, to boil it down: your main event is Tuesday the 15th. Glassy, strong, long-period groundswell. Don't miss it. The Wednesday the 16th afternoon session is the heavy alternative for the experts.

Stay safe, have fun.
Rusty.
