The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the 16-day stretch for Boucan Rights. This reef setup is a consistent heavy hitter, and it’s delivering some serious grunt through the period. The water’s sitting at a comfortable 75° – that’s right around average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
We kick off on Sunday the 13th with some proper juice. A solid 6ft swell from the SSW, packing a hefty 1857 units of energy – that’s powerful, strong energy, and with a 16-second period, this is long-period groundswell. This is advanced territory; 6ft is pushing it for beginners, and the reef means you need to know what you’re doing. Winds are light cross-off at 6 mph, keeping it reasonably clean. Still, the standout of this whole outlook? That’s actually Tuesday morning the 15th. The swell drops a touch to 5ft from the SW, but the period blows out to 18 seconds – very long-period groundswell – and the energy jumps to 2264. Glassy calm, slight air. That combination will be absolutely beautiful for the reef. For an experienced surfer, that’s the session to circle.
Monday the 14th is still very good. The morning is glassy with 5ft SW swell (14-second period, 918 energy), and the afternoon turns offshore from the SSE at 9 mph with 5ft SSW swell – clean, orderly waves.
Wednesday the 16th brings the biggest swell of the early week: 8ft from the SSW with a 15-second period and monstrous 2999 energy. That’s big. Only experts should be in the water. The morning is clean with light cross-off winds, but the afternoon gets a bit rippled with cross-onshore breeze.
Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th mellow right out. Glassy conditions both days. Thursday sees 5ft dropping to 4ft S swell, and Friday is 3ft to 2ft SW swell – still glassy and clean, but the energy fades to 315-401 (weak to moderate). Good for a longboard or a mellow session.
Then we hit a quiet patch. Saturday the 19th through Sunday the 20th is pretty weak – 3ft to 3ft swell, mixed winds, and low scores. The 21st and 22nd perk back up with glassy conditions and some 4ft SSW swell that has 767 energy and a 12-second period – still fun but nothing special.
Now, looking ahead to the second week, we get a real revival. The best day of the entire second week and maybe the whole run is Thursday the 24th afternoon. That’s a 5ft SSW swell with an insane 20-second period and 2022 energy. The wind is a light cross-shore, so it won’t be glassy, but that period is phenomenal. But the absolute standout of week two? Hands down, Friday the 25th morning. 7ft SSW swell, 16-second period, 2077 energy, and a cross-off breeze at 6 mph from the south. That’s big, powerful, and clean – expert only, but easily the best offer of the latter part.
Saturday the 26th sees the swell drop to 4ft with offshore winds, and things settle into clean but smaller surf through the 27th and 28th. The 28th afternoon has a nice little spike: 5ft SW swell, 13-second period, 1173 energy, and glassy – excellent conditions for experienced surfers again.
So overall, you’ve got a couple of absolute jewels: Tuesday morning the 15th and Friday morning the 25th. Mark those on the calendar. The rest of the period has some good sessions mixed in, but those are the ones that’ll have you grinning ear to ear.
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.
