The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk Boucan Rights. This is a reef break, and it’s for the advanced crew only – no messing around. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 77°.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but it picks up. Tuesday morning and afternoon, 4 August, you’re looking at clean, glassy conditions with a 2ft swell from the southwest, period 13 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (289). It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.
Wednesday, 5 August, stays clean with a 2ft to 3ft southwest swell, period 15 seconds. The energy picks up a little (359). Still, it’s gentle.
Now, the real standout is Saturday, 8 August. Glassy as a mirror, with a 4ft to 4ft southwest swell, period 18 seconds. The combined energy jumps to strong (801–947). This is a groundswell, long period, so it’ll be cracking at this reef. Clean, powerful, and consistent. That’s the best on offer if you can get out.
Sunday, 9 August, keeps it going – glassy, 4ft to 4ft southwest swell, period 14–15 seconds. Energy is still strong (629–481). Good stuff.
The run from Monday, 10 August, through to Thursday, 13 August, is all clean and glassy, with southwest swells from 3ft to 5ft, periods of 13–16 seconds. The energy is strong (752–519). A solid run of waves.
Then, Friday, 14 August, things get serious. The swell jumps to 8ft from the south, period 12 seconds. Combined energy is very strong (2229–2355). This is excellent for experienced surfers, but at over 8ft, it’s expert-only territory.
Saturday, 15 August, stays big – 5ft to 6ft southwest swell, period 18–19 seconds. Energy is very strong (2442–2683). Again, for the experts.
Sunday, 16 August, is the last of the big stuff – 7ft to 6ft southwest swell, period 16–17 seconds. Energy is very strong (2215–1629). Glassy conditions too.
After that, it fades. Monday, 17 August, drops to 3ft to 3ft, and by Tuesday and Wednesday, 18–19 August, it’s back to small, ordinary waves with low energy (293–168). Tuesday afternoon is still glassy, but Wednesday is marginal.
The standout is Saturday, 8 August, through to Sunday, 16 August, with the peak on Friday, 14 August, for the big stuff. Crows are possible here, so keep an eye out.

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.
Boucan Rights is 4 km (2 miles) from Saint-Paul. If you plan a holiday in Réunion Island, look for hotels and other accommodation in Saint-Paul. Saint-Paul has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
