The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty. Let’s size up Boucan Rights. This is a heavy reef setup—only for advanced surfers—and it’s exposed to all the good stuff.
The water’s running about 25°, a touch warmer than usual for early September.
We kick off Sunday the 6th with surf around 4ft of SW swell, period 13 seconds, light cross-off breeze keeping things clean. Wave energy is moderate (659). A decent start.
Monday the 7th picks up: 7ft of SSW swell in the morning (15 sec period, 1738 energy), still clean cross-off. Afternoon pushes to nearly 8ft (14 sec, 2410 energy) but the wind worsens, quality drops. Experts only now.
The real standout is Tuesday the 8th through Wednesday the 9th. Tuesday morning has 7ft SSW swell (16 sec, 4113 energy) with offshore wind—already excellent. Tuesday afternoon is a monster: 10ft, 15 sec, glassy conditions, energy hitting 7081. Wednesday morning tops it: 12ft, 17 sec period, glassy, with energy a wild 7705. This is the moment—long, powerful groundswell at a reef. Expect clean, deep, heavy waves with long lulls between sets. Absolutely for experts and the best of the whole run.
Wednesday afternoon loses the glassy wind, turning cross-on. Thursday the 10th eases to 6ft in the morning and 5ft in the afternoon, both glassy and clean.
Friday the 11th drops to 4ft and 3ft, still some clean windows but much less energy. Saturday the 12th offers small, glassy 3ft to 4ft SSW swell (15 sec). Clean.
Second week is more moderate but consistent. Sunday the 13th has 4ft (17 sec, 1334 energy) but cross-on wind in the morning; glassy afternoon. Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th run 5ft to 7ft SSW swells, mostly glassy or clean, with period up to 16 seconds. Good, but not that peak.
After Thursday the 17th, the swell fades to 3ft and below, then slowly climbs back to 4ft by Saturday the 19th. The last weekend stays small, with Monday the 21st offering glassy 5ft waves on the tail end.
Best advice: mark Tuesday 8th and Wednesday 9th September on your calendar. Big, clean, long-period groundswell at Boucan Rights—it doesn’t get much better for the crew that can handle it.
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.
