Boucan Rights Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Rightyo, let’s have a look at what’s on offer. The main event here is Boucan Rights, a reef setup that’s gonna be firing for a solid stretch. It’s advanced, so this ain’t for the grommets or the weekend warriors. The water is sitting at 76.5°F right now, which is about 1.8°F warmer than normal for this time of year – just a nice little tropical hug.

We start off Monday 6th July with a solid push. Morning sees a 6.6ft SW swell, period around 13 seconds, and a moderate offshore breeze from the south. That’s proper groundswell energy, with combined energy hitting 1433 (moderate to strong). The afternoon drops a touch to 5.9ft, still clean. This is excellent, but it’s a powerful reef so only for the experienced.

Tuesday 7th July is where things get interesting. The morning is 5.2ft from the south with a gentle offshore – still clean. But the afternoon... mate, the swell jumps to 9.8ft from the south, period 12 seconds. The combined energy is 3703 (strong). That’s a big, powerful swell. It’s gonna be too big for most, only for the experts. The wind goes cross-off, so it’ll be a bit lumpy but still rideable for the brave.

Wednesday 8th July morning is a standout moment. Glassy conditions, 4.9ft S swell, 11-second period. The combined energy is 649 (moderate). That’s proper clean, shaped waves, with no wind. It’s a beautiful morning. The afternoon gets a bit cross-onshore and drops to 4.6ft, so it’s not as good.

Thursday 9th and Friday 10th are both glassy but small, around 3.0ft to 3.3ft. The energy is low (283 to 463). It’s clean, but you’ll be scratching for waves. The period on Friday 10th jumps to 15 seconds from the SW, which is a very long-period groundswell. That means long lulls, but the waves that come will be thick and powerful. Best on a point or reef – which is exactly what this is.

Now, the real highlight kicks off Saturday 11th July. The morning is 4.6ft SW, 15-second period, glassy. Energy is 823 (moderate). The afternoon gets even better: 5.2ft, period 14 seconds, glassy, energy 1034 (moderate). This is clean, lined up, and just getting better.

Sunday 12th July is the absolute peak of the run. Morning: 7.2ft SW, 15-second period, glassy, combined energy 2146 (strong). Afternoon: 7.2ft SW, 14 seconds, glassy, energy 2004 (strong). This is the best on offer. Big, clean, powerful groundswell with zero wind. The reef will make it hollow and fast. Only for experts, but for them, this is perfection.

Monday 13th July stays strong: 6.2ft SW, 14 seconds, glassy in the morning (energy 1418). The afternoon goes cross-off but still clean.

Tuesday 14th July is another cracker: 6.9ft SSW, 17-second period in the morning – that’s a very long-period groundswell. Energy is 2439 (strong). The afternoon is 7.2ft, 16 seconds, glassy. This is proper, deep ocean energy. The reef will hold it perfectly.

Wednesday 15th July has a bit of a cross-on morning, but the afternoon turns glassy again with 5.2ft SSW, 14 seconds. Rain showers possible, but clean.

Thursday 16th July: morning is 7.2ft S, 14 seconds, cross-off cleanup. Afternoon glassy at 6.6ft. Solid, consistent energy.

From Friday 17th July, it starts to drop. The morning is 3.9ft, cross-on, marginal. The afternoon is glassy but small. Saturday 18th July is tiny, 2.3ft to 2.6ft, with cross-on winds. Not worth paddling out.

Sunday 19th July brings a new, shorter-period swell. Morning is 6.6ft SSE, only 8 seconds – that’s a short-period, wind-driven swell. It’s glassy, but the quality won’t be there. The afternoon jumps to 8.2ft SSE, 9 seconds, glassy, energy 1854 (strong). This is big, but it’s a short-period, fat, lumpy wave. Not the same as the groundswell. It’s still only for experts due to the size.

Monday 20th July has a cross-shore wind in the morning, then a clean 4.6ft SW in the afternoon. Better. Tuesday 21st July finishes with a glassy morning (3.6ft) and a weird 6.2ft SE, 9-second bump in the afternoon. That’s a short-period, sloppy one.

The standout is easily Sunday 12th July and Tuesday 14th July. The 12th is the best combo of size, clean glass, and long period. The 14th has the longest period of the whole run. Those are the days to clear your calendar for. Just remember, crowds are often here, so get
