The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look.

We've got a solid run ahead at Boucan Rights (reef). Right now the water temp is sitting at 77°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – a nice little bonus.

The first proper window rolls in Saturday, August 15th, with a 7ft SSW groundswell. It's got some serious grunt (combined energy of 5328). But the wind's a light onshore from the NNW, so it'll be a bit bumpy. Hold off for Sunday morning, the 16th. That's where the story starts. A 8ft SSW groundswell (period 16 seconds – long period, which means it'll wrap in nicely here) with glassy conditions and light offshore wind. The energy is high (3428), and the water will be clean. This is a standout for experienced surfers.

That glassy trend continues into Sunday afternoon with a 8ft SSW swell and zero wind. Beautiful.

We then see the size drop into Monday the 17th, 4ft to 4ft, with clean offshore winds in the afternoon. The energy is still moderate (1395 dropping to 1183). Good for a longboard.

Things get small through the middle of the week, around 3ft to 4ft. Nothing to write home about. There's a nice little window on Friday the 21st afternoon with a 4ft SW groundswell and glassy conditions.

But hold on to your leash. The real standout is on the 26th of August, Wednesday morning and afternoon. We've got a massive 13ft SSW groundswell with a 16-second period. The combined energy is absolutely pumping – 7949 in the morning, 7564 in the afternoon. Winds are light offshore or glassy, and it's described as exceptional. This is a major event, but at this size – over 8ft – it’s strictly for experts. The 27th stays big around 10ft but with onshore cross-winds, so it gets messy, though the 28th Friday cleans up again with glassy conditions. That Wednesday the 26th is the crown jewel.

There's a smaller gap in the quality around the 19th and 20th, but the bigger story is that long stretch from the 22nd onward where the swell stays in the 6ft to 13ft range almost constantly. The whole second half of the outlook is active. The final few days, the 29th and 30th, settle down to a fun 5ft to 8ft with clean glassy conditions and plenty of energy – a great way to round it all out. Crowds are likely here, so get in early.

Rusty, signing off.

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.
