The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s cooking over the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a solid run of swell, but it’s not for everyone. The standout is Boucan Rights, a reef break that takes a south-west swell and really lights up. It’s an advanced spot, so you need to know what you’re doing. The water temperature is pretty average for this time of year, nothing wild to report.

The first real action kicks off Wednesday the 29th, but it’s a bit soft. The morning has a 6.9ft SSW swell, period 14 seconds, but it’s a cross-on wind with a bit of energy (1676). It’s there, but it’s not clean. Wednesday afternoon drops to 5.9ft, period 14 seconds, still cross-on, energy 1222. It’s feeling a bit average.

Thursday the 30th is where it starts to get interesting. The morning is still a bit messy with a 4.6ft SSW swell, period 13 seconds (1098 energy), but by the afternoon, man, it gets glassy. 5.6ft SSW swell, period 16 seconds – that’s a long-period groundswell. Energy is 1373. This is the kind of window where the reef really starts to work. The period is long, so the sets will be clean and powerful, with plenty of time between them to get back out.

Friday the 31st morning is glassy again, 5.6ft, 16 seconds (1305 energy). That’s two excellent sessions in a row for experienced surfers. The afternoon turns a bit onshore, so don’t hang around.

Saturday the 1st of August is a cracker. The morning is glassy with a 5.9ft, 15-second SSW swell, energy 1447. Then the afternoon swings offshore with a SSE wind, same swell size, energy 1389. That’s a clean, hollow day. This is the pick of the whole run.

Sunday the 2nd drops off a touch. Morning is glassy, 4.3ft, 13 seconds (1149 energy), but still excellent. The afternoon is clean with a cross-off. It’s still good but the swell is easing.

Then we hit a bit of a lull from Monday the 3rd through to Thursday the 7th. Swell drops below 5ft, energy drops into the hundreds. It’s not flat, but it’s not the quality of the weekend. The break is still there, but it’s smaller and less consistent.

Friday the 7th afternoon has a 3.0ft SW swell, period 14 seconds, energy 378, and it’s clean. A small day for a sneaky session.

Saturday the 8th is a little better. Morning has a 3.0ft SW swell, period 16 seconds, energy 537, and it’s clean. That long period makes it rideable despite the small size.

Then we get another real standout around Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th. Monday the 10th morning is glassy, 4.9ft SW swell, period 15 seconds, energy 1069. By the afternoon it’s glassy again, 5.2ft, 16 seconds, energy 1241. That’s a proper groundswell. Tuesday the 11th is even better – morning is dead calm, glassy, 5.2ft, 16 seconds, energy 1258. The afternoon is glassy again with a light breeze, 5.2ft, 15 seconds, energy 1099. This is the second real standout window. The combination of size, period, and glassy conditions is hard to beat.

After that, it fades. Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th are small, with energy dropping below 500 and wind turning messy. Not worth the paddle.

So, the best on offer is Saturday the 1st of August and Tuesday the 11th of August. Both have clean, powerful, long-period swell hitting the reef. If you’re an advanced surfer, mark those days. The break is consistent, but expect crowds because it’s a known spot. The reef makes it better for the long-period swell, it won’t just close out.

Stay safe, keep your wits about you on that reef.

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.
