The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, breakin' down the Boucan Rights forecast.
We’re lookin’ at a solid run of surf startin’ now, with some serious size later on. This is a reef break, so advanced surfers only. Water temp’s about normal for the season.
Tuesday, August 25th, we’ve got a clean 6ft SSW swell, 13-second period, glassy west wind. Swell energy is 1007 – moderate. Good stuff for experienced crew. Afternoon stays clean at 5ft.
Wednesday August 26th morning is more of the same: 5ft SW, glassy. Afternoon gets smaller and a bit cross-on.
Thursday August 27th brings the size. Morning hits with a 10ft SSW groundswell, 17-second period, glassy south wind. Swell energy jumps to 4932. Afternoon stays big at 10ft with clean cross-off wind. Expert territory.
The big day is Friday August 28th. We’re talkin’ 12ft SSW swell, 16-second period, with moderate offshore winds. Swell energy is an enormous 7091 in the morning and 7721 in the afternoon. That’s exceptional for experts. Crowds are often here, so expect company.
Saturday August 29th eases from 12ft to 10ft, still glassy, but energy drops from 4716 to 3553. Still solid.
Sunday August 30th has a 7ft SSW swell in the morning with glassy winds. Monday August 31st fades to a 4ft S swell.
Then there’s a quiet stretch from Tuesday September 1st through Friday September 4th, with waves under 3ft and energy fallin’ into double digits. A few days of nothin’ much.
Saturday September 5th sees a tiny bump to 3ft SW. Sunday September 6th picks up with 4ft SW, glassy, energy at 672. Monday September 7th has a 5ft SW swell with offshore wind, energy at 1094. Tuesday September 8th holds at 6ft SSW, offshore.
And a final heads-up: Wednesday September 9th morning shows a 8ft SW groundswell, glassy, with a combined energy of 3378. That’s a strong one for the experts.
Bottom line: Friday August 28th is the winner – huge, clean, and powerful. Thursday August 27th is also a cracker. Don’t miss it.

Information about the Boucan Rights Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Boucan Rights provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Boucan Rights can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Boucan Rights surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Boucan Rights) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Boucan Rights may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Boucan Rights is 4 km (2 miles) from Saint-Paul. If you plan a holiday in Réunion Island, look for hotels and other accommodation in Saint-Paul. Saint-Paul has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
