Boucan Rights Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty talking. Let’s look at what’s coming up for Boucan Rights. This is a solid reef setup that’s exposed to the SW, so it knows how to handle a good push. The water is sitting at 25°, which is a touch warmer than we usually see this time of year, so you might not need that thick of a suit.

The first real action kicks off on Friday afternoon, the 24th of July. It’s not the biggest swell at 4 ft, but it’s coming from the right direction out of the SW, with a 14-second period. The wind is glassy, coming from the North at just 3 mph. That’s proper clean conditions. The combined energy is decent at 863 (moderate), and it’s saying “expect very good surf.” A nice way to ease into the weekend.

Saturday morning, the 25th, looks a bit scrappy. The swell is the same size, but the wind swings around to a cross-onshore from the NNE, and it’s bumping up to 9 mph. The forecast says poor, so I’d sleep in or wait for something else.

Now, Sunday the 26th is a bit of a tease. There’s a long-period swell at 20 seconds, but it’s only 3 ft. The wind is onshore in the morning, and the combined energy is only 737 (moderate). It’s a marginal call, better suited for the longboard if you’re desperate.

Here’s where it gets good. Monday the 27th of July is the standout. The swell jumps to 8 ft from the SW, with a solid 16-second period. The wind is glassy at 3 mph, and the combined energy hits 3624 (strong). That’s serious juice. The forecast says “excellent for experienced surfers,” and it’s not kidding. At that size, it’s a big, powerful wave. This is a proper reef break, so the long period will wrap in nicely, but it’s not for beginners. If you’re advanced, this is your session. The glassy conditions will make it look like a postcard.

Tuesday the 28th keeps the good times rolling. 7 ft to 8 ft, still from the SW, with periods of 15 to 17 seconds. The wind is glassy or calm, and the energy is strong (2868 to 3301). The crowd factor here? It’s marked as “often” busy, and with this quality, you can bet there will be a few locals out. But it’s worth the paddle.

The rest of the week into early August holds plenty of clean, glassy conditions, with the swell dropping a bit but staying in the 5 ft to 7 ft range. The wind stays light or offshore for most sessions, keeping the face smooth. The 31st of July and 1st of August both look excellent, with strong energy and SW groundswell.

By the second week, things are still pumping but a little more modest. The 4th of August has a 5 ft swell from the SSW with an 18-second period and offshore wind, which is a great combo for this reef. Energy is 1716 (strong). The 5th and 6th are smaller but still very clean with glassy conditions.

The 8th of August, Saturday afternoon, sees a little bump in energy to 1374 (moderate) with a 4 ft SSW swell and clean cross-off winds. A nice way to close out the forecast.

Overall, the best bet is Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th of July. That’s the big, clean, powerful window. After that, the quality remains high but the size drops. For a reef break that loves a SW swell, this is a great run. Get on it.

Rusty.
