The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, and I've been staring at the charts for Boucan Rights. This is a proper expert's wave, a heavy reef setup that demands respect, and we’ve got a full 16-day window of action coming. The water’s sitting at a balmy 77°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so you might get away without the full steamer early on.
The first few days are just the appetizer. Thursday the 3rd is tiny, with knee-high 2 ft swell from the SW. The energy is weak (146), but it’s glassy, dead calm... you could almost call it a meditation session. Friday the 4th morning stays small, but the afternoon is where it wakes up. That SW groundswell jumps to 5 ft, period hits 17 seconds, and the energy ramps up to (1221). With a light cross-off breeze, it’s going to be clean and lined up. Saturday the 5th keeps that quality going: 5 ft to 5 ft, glassy conditions, and a solid 14-second period. It's excellent surf for anyone who can handle a fast, hollow reef.
Now, the real standout is the back half of next week. Monday the 7th afternoon, the swell is up to 8 ft from the SSW, the wind is offshore, and the power is surging (3194). Tuesday the 8th is even better. The morning starts solid at 10 ft, but the afternoon is the peak with the same 10 ft swell, glassy conditions, and a ridiculous energy reading of (6617). That's a deep, powerful SW groundswell with a 15-second period. This is a day for experts only. If you’ve got the stones, this will be one of those sessions you remember.
The following week holds more goodness, but then we look at Wednesday the 16th. This is the big one on the horizon. Both the morning and afternoon are showing a massive 15 ft of glassy, long-period SSW groundswell. The combined energy is off the charts (12658). The period is 18 seconds, which is proper, world-class groundswell. For a reef like this, that’s as good as it gets. Keep your calendar clear for that day, but remember, it’s deep in the forecast, so the exact size could shift.
There are no real flat spells here, just a few smaller mornings and afternoons. The 12th and 13th are a bit quieter, with smaller 2 ft to 3 ft waves and less ideal wind, but the surf is never completely gone. If you’re a strong paddler, the whole 16 days has something to offer, but the 8th and the 16th are the ones you wait for.
Stay salty.
