Boucan Rights Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s coming up over the next couple of weeks.

First thing, it’s a slow start. The first real swell doesn’t hit until Thursday the 27th of August, so there’s a few days of nothing to get excited about. But once it gets going, Boucan Rights (Guadeloupe) is the only break on the menu, and it’s a consistent reef setup that needs a solid south-west swell.

The standout period is the end of August into early September. Thursday the 27th morning rolls in with a 10-foot SSW groundswell, a very long 17-second period, and a massive energy reading of 4932. The wind is a light cross-off from the south at 6 mph, keeping things clean. Water temp is about average for this time of year. This is heavy, expert-only stuff.

Friday the 28th is even better. The morning bumps up to 13-foot SSW with a 16-second period and a huge 7569 units of energy. Offshore wind from the SSE at 19 mph, blowing clean and groomed. By Friday afternoon, the wind eases to 16 mph, still offshore, the swell drops slightly to 12 feet, and the energy is still massive at 7437. That’s the pick of the whole run for experts. Saturday the 29th still holds, with an 12-foot SSW groundswell, 15 seconds, and light winds that go glassy in the afternoon. Still big, still powerful.

Sunday the 30th stays solid with a 8-foot SSW swell, glassy in the morning and clean in the afternoon. That’s more manageable for strong intermediates, but still a serious wave. After that, the swell drops through Monday and Tuesday, down to 4 feet and then 3 feet, with glassy conditions but not much push.

There’s a lull from the 2nd of September through the 4th, with very small, weak energy and mostly glassy but ordinary surf. Not worth paddling for.

Then a second pulse builds from the 5th of September. Saturday the 5th afternoon sees a 4-foot SW swell with a 15-second period and offshore wind from the SSE at 9 mph, giving clean, fun waves. The energy is moderate at 664. Sunday the 6th is similar, with glassy mornings and offshore afternoons, and the swell holds around 4 feet. By Monday the 7th, it’s up to 6 feet SSW with clean conditions, and the energy is strong at 1319. That’s a solid session for experienced surfers.

Now, the long-range promise: Tuesday the 8th of September is looking very interesting. The morning has a 5-foot SSW swell with an incredibly long 21-second period, glassy conditions, and 2424 units of energy. That’s a proper groundswell, and the reef will handle it beautifully. The afternoon jumps to 8 feet SSW with a 19-second period, glassy and calm, with 5206 units of energy. That’s expert territory again. Wednesday the 9th keeps the big swell rolling with 12 feet SSW, 16 seconds, and glassy to clean conditions both sessions. The energy is huge again, over 6000. That’s a standout run for the second week, but it’s a long way out, so treat it as promising but not locked in.

The swell winds down after that, with Thursday the 10th still offering 8 feet SSW in the morning and 7 feet in the afternoon, both glassy. Friday the 11th morning has a 6-foot SSW swell, glassy, with moderate energy.

The best of the best? Friday the 28th afternoon and Tuesday the 8th afternoon. Both are huge, clean, and for experts only. If you’re an experienced surfer, those are the windows to circle.

Rusty out.
