Boucan Rights Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty checkin' in from the beach. Let's have a look at what we've got cookin' for the next couple of weeks. It’s all about one spot, Boucan Rights, and it’s a reef setup that demands respect – this ain’t a beginner’s wave at all.

We’ve got a solid run of surf kickin’ off right away on Tuesday the 28th of July, and it’s laying down some serious energy. The swell is pumping in from the SSW, and we’re talking a very strong 2777 combined energy reading. It’s a proper groundswell with a 15-second period, pushin’ around 7 ft. This is quality, heavy stuff, so the only ones out here will be the experienced crew. The wind’s glassy from the NNE, near dead calm – that’s about as clean as it gets. Expect the water temp to feel about average for this time of year.

The surf holds strong through the afternoon, still glassy at 7 ft with the swell shifting a touch more SSW and the period stretching to 17 seconds. That’s a very long, powerful pulse rippin’ down the reef.

Wednesday the 29th sees it back off a little to a still solid 7 ft in the morning, with a 14-second period. Wind is glassy out of the NW. By the afternoon, it drops to 6 ft, same 14-second period, but with a slight WNW breeze keeping it clean. The combined energy is still in the moderate-to-strong range (1676 and 1222).

Thursday the 30th is a beauty. Morning has clean 5 ft surf with a 13-second period, glassed off by a light SW breeze. The afternoon is the standout though – dead calm, glassy as a mirror, and the swell bumps back up to 6 ft with a 16-second period. That’s a gorgeous combination of size, energy (1373), and perfect conditions.

Friday the 31st is a bit of a letdown. The swell is still there around 6 ft, but the wind turns onshore out of the NNW. The conditions get lumpy, with some rain showers moving through. It’s a day to let the reef settle.

Saturday the 1st of August we’re back on. Morning glass from the west with 6 ft, 15-second swell. The afternoon is another gem – a dead calm SSW wind, which is the optimum direction for this break, with a 6 ft swell and 14-second period. That’s a perfect combo, and the combined energy is strong at 1525.

Sunday the 2nd keeps the good times rollin’. Glassy calm in the morning with 5 ft, 15-second swell. The afternoon picks up a bit of a cross-offshore breeze from the SW at 10 km/h, which will keep the face clean, and the swell jumps to 6 ft with a 17-second period and the combined energy spiking up to 1843.

We then get a lull. Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th see the swell drop into the 3 ft to 4 ft range. It’s clean and glassy, but the energy is weak (down to 286 on Tuesday afternoon). Wednesday the 5th through to Saturday the 8th of August remain small, in the 2 ft to 3 ft range. You’ll find clean little waves, but nothing with any punch. The combined energy is low, mostly under 400.

But hold onto your board, mate. Sunday the 9th of August shows a pulse. Morning has 4 ft, 14-second swell building, and by the afternoon it’s up to 5 ft, 15-second with a combined energy of 931. It’s glassy and clean.

Then, the real standout of the whole outlook lands on Monday the 10th of August. We’re talking 7 ft of SW groundswell with a 16-second period. The combined energy is a massive 2767. The morning looks prime with a glassy NW wind. This is an absolute session for the experts. The afternoon gets a little lumpy with a light cross-onshore breeze, but the size and power are undeniable.

Tuesday the 11th of August looks a bit bumpy in the morning with a 10 ft swell from the SSE, but the period is short at 10 seconds, and the wind is onshore – more of a messy, powerful wall. The afternoon cleans up with glassy conditions and a 7 ft S swell with a 13-second period, which is a strong option. Wednesday the 12th of August is the tail end, with 6 ft and a 12-second period and a cross-shore breeze.

So, lookin’ at the whole picture, the best bets are clear: Saturday the 1st of August afternoon for the perfect combo of direction, size, and glassy conditions. But if you want the biggest, rawest power, Monday the 10th of August morning is the one to circle on the calendar – it’s a bit out there, but it’s lookin’ heavy.

Alright, get amongst it. Rusty.
