The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down.

We’re looking at a solid run of surf at Boucan Rights, a reef break that demands respect. The water is sitting at 76° – about a degree warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s a touch on the warm side.

It kicks off on Sunday the 19th with some clean, cross-off waves. Swell is a modest 3ft from the SW, but with a long period of 16 seconds, there’s real energy in the water (452). It’s not big, but it’ll be lined up and clean. That long period on a reef is a good mix.

Monday the 20th is where it starts to get interesting. The swell jumps to 7ft, and the wind goes glassy in the morning. This is proper groundswell with a 14-second period and a combined energy of 1987. This is for experienced surfers only – that size on a reef is not for beginners. The afternoon stays glassy too, which is a treat.

Tuesday the 21st sees the swell drop a touch to 6ft, but the wind turns cross-on, so it’s a bit less clean. Still rideable, but not the pick of the week.

Wednesday the 22nd is a little beauty. Clean, glassy conditions in the morning with 5ft of swell, then the wind swings offshore in the afternoon, cleaning it up further. That’s a solid day for a surfer who knows the reef.

The run continues through the end of the week, with some smaller days but still clean conditions. There’s a standout moment on Sunday the 26th – the morning is glassy with a 3ft swell, but check out the period: 21 seconds. That’s a very long, powerful groundswell. The energy is moderate (901), but the lines on that reef will be something special. Then the afternoon picks up to 5ft with a 19-second period and offshore winds. That’s a proper window.

Now, the real fire comes on Monday the 27th. Morning: 8ft, glassy, SW groundswell at 16 seconds, energy of 3248. This is a big, heavy day for experts only. Tuesday the 28th is just as solid, with 8ft again and glassy conditions. The water temperature is still about normal, but the quality is undeniable.

The forecast keeps pumping right through the first week of August. But the absolute standout, the one you circle on the calendar, is Sunday the 2nd of August. The morning is solid at 10ft, but the afternoon hits 15ft from the SSW, with a 13-second period, glassy wind, and an energy reading of 10932. That is exceptional, heavy, and only for expert surfers. It’s over two weeks away, so there’s some uncertainty, but if that sets up, it’s a session to remember.

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.
