Boucan Rights Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for Boucan Rights over the next couple of weeks.

First up, the water is sitting at 76°F with a tiny anomaly of 0.8°F, so pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year. No surprises there.

The opening window is a bit of a slow burn. Tuesday the 14th gets things started with a clean 5ft SSW groundswell, period a solid 13 seconds, and glassy conditions. The energy is moderate (750). It’s a nice, quiet intro, but the real meat is still to come.

Wednesday the 15th has a similar story – 4ft in the morning with glassy easterly air, dropping to 4ft in the afternoon. Still clean, still fun, but not the headline.

Then Thursday the 16th and Friday the 17th are a write-off. Onshore winds and messy, small surf. You’re better off waiting.

Saturday the 18th is a return to glass, but only 3ft. It’s clean, but small. Sunday the 19th is a bit of a question mark with onshore wind and a long-period 16-second swell that’s not really lining up right.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Monday the 20th brings a proper pulse. 6ft SSW swell, 15 seconds, cross-offshore wind, and the energy jumps to 1641. This is clean, powerful, and for experienced surfers. The swell is pushing 8ft by the afternoon, which is getting into expert territory. This is a standout.

Tuesday the 21st keeps the energy high. 8ft in the morning, 7ft in the afternoon, both with cross-off and offshore winds, and the energy sits around 1546 and 1175. Clean, consistent, and solid. This is the best run of the first week.

Wednesday the 22nd and Thursday the 23rd ease off a bit, but still clean with 4ft to 3ft swells. Good for a more relaxed session.

Now, the real big one is coming. Friday the 24th of July, a week and a half out, looks huge. The morning is a bit uncertain with a 8ft, 17-second groundswell, but the afternoon is a monster: 8ft, 16 seconds, cross-offshore wind, and an energy reading of 3648. That’s a serious, powerful swell. This is a standout for the experts.

Saturday the 25th keeps it pumping with 7ft to 8ft, glassy and clean. Sunday the 26th is another absolute gem: 8ft, 15 seconds, glassy conditions, and energy of 3178. This is a top-tier day.

Monday the 27th is the peak of the run. The morning has a 6ft, 19-second groundswell – that’s a very long period – and the afternoon hits 8ft, 17 seconds, both with glassy conditions. Energy is through the roof at 3248 and 3782. This is the best on offer. But remember, with that long period at a point break, it’s going to be lined up and powerful, not a mushy beach break.

The tail end of the month, Tuesday the 28th and Wednesday the 29th, settles back down to clean, fun 5ft to 6ft swells. A nice way to wind down.

Crowds at Boucan Rights are often a factor, so expect company on the standout days, especially when it’s this good. For the big days over 8ft, this is expert-only territory. The setup is a reef, so that long-period groundswell will be a treat.

Overall, the first week has a few nice days, but the real fireworks kick off from the 20th and peak around the 24th to the 27th. The long-range standouts are promising but less certain – keep an eye on the wind.

Rusty.
