Boucan Rights Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here again, but in feet and miles per hour.

Water’s sitting at a nice 25°, which is a touch warmer than you’d normally expect. The early part of the week at Boucan Rights is all about small, clean, and consistent waves. We’ve got a 4ft SW swell rolling in, with a long period of 14-15 seconds, and the wind is glassy or very light. It’s not going to blow you away with size, but the quality is there for a confident surfer. The combined energy is moderate, around 618, so there’s some push. Sunday morning and Monday morning are your go-to’s for a really tidy wave, no crowds to worry about, just clean lines. This is a reef break for advanced surfers, so be aware.

Things start to build through the week. By Friday the 14th, the swell is up to 6ft, but the wind isn’t as kind, so it’s a bit messier. The real standout arrives on Saturday the 15th of August. That morning, you’ve got a glassy 6ft SSW groundswell with a very long period of 20 seconds, and the combined energy is pumping at 3498. It’s a solid, powerful wave. By the afternoon, it jumps to an 8ft SSW swell with an 18-second period and clean, cross-offshore winds. The energy is through the roof at 5569. This is expert territory, pure and simple. For those who can handle it, this is the pick of the bunch—big, long-period groundswell on a reef, groomed to perfection.

After that peak, the swell eases into the following week, but there’s still plenty of fun to be had. Sunday the 16th sees a 7ft SSW swell with glassy conditions in the afternoon, and the energy is still strong at 2389. By Monday the 17th, it’s dropped back to a 4ft SW swell, but the period is still a solid 16 seconds, and it’s glassy all day. Great for a longboard or a fish if you want an easier paddle.

There’s a lull mid-week around the 18th and 19th, with small 2ft to 2ft swell. It’s still rideable on the right gear, especially with that long-period groundswell on the 19th, but it’s not going to get the heart racing.

Looking further out, there’s a big pulse forecast for Monday the 24th of August. We’re talking a 10ft SW swell with a 16-second period, and the combined energy hits 5205. It’s glassy in the morning, but the size means this is strictly for experts. The afternoon pushes to 12ft, though the wind swings cross-shore, so it might get a bit lumpy. This is a long-range call, so it’s promising but not locked in yet.

Overall, the best on offer is Saturday the 15th of August, with that huge, clean groundswell. For the everyday surfer, the glassy mornings from the 9th through the 12th are your sweet spot.

Rusty.
