Boucan Rights Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright mates, Rusty here again with the same picture, just in feet and degrees.

We’ve got a solid run of surf coming in, starting on Monday the 20th of July. The first few days are built on a powerful SSW groundswell packing some serious energy, with a combined energy value of 1859. That’s moderate to strong. The water is sitting at 76°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – a nice little bonus.

The standout session is hands down Monday the 27th of July. That’s the one to mark on your calendar. We’re looking at a big 12ft SSW swell, with a period of 16 seconds, and it’s accompanied by a clean, moderate offshore wind from the south. The combined energy is a massive 6274, so you’re talking serious, powerful groundswell. This is strictly for experienced surfers – anything over 8ft is expert territory, and this one’s a beast. The morning will be the pick, with the wind holding offshore. The afternoon stays at 10ft with a cross-off breeze, still excellent but a notch down.

Before that, we have a great run of clean, fun surf. Monday the 20th afternoon kicks off with 8ft SSW swell, glassy conditions, and zero wind. It’s a touch on the bigger side, so it’s more for the lads who can handle it. Tuesday the 21st and Wednesday the 22nd offer 6ft and 5ft SSW to S swells, with glassy mornings and light offshore winds in the afternoons. Excellent, clean conditions for experienced surfers.

Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th see the swell drop a little to 4ft and 4ft, but the period stays decent, and the wind is light offshore or glassy. Expect very good, clean surf. Saturday the 25th is still fun in the morning with a 4ft SW swell and glassy conditions, but the afternoon gets a bit cross-on, so the quality dips.

After the big Monday on the 27th, the swell settles back into a nice rhythm. Tuesday the 28th and Wednesday the 29th bring 6ft to 5ft SW/S swells with glassy conditions. Excellent for experienced surfers. The energy drops a bit from Thursday the 30th through Friday the 31st, with 3ft to 3ft SW swells, but the winds are light and glassy. Clean, fun waves for the longboard or a fish.

Looking into the start of August, Saturday the 1st has a big 10ft SSW swell on the way, but the morning has a cross-on wind. The afternoon looks much better, going glassy with 8ft swell. That’s a solid option for the experts. Sunday the 2nd is a mixed bag with onshore winds in the morning, but the afternoon glass-off with 5ft SSW swell is a good shout. Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th round things out with 5ft to 6ft SW swells, mostly glassy, keeping the run of good surf going.

The break we’re talking about is Boucan Rights, a reef setup that’s consistent and exposed. It’s an advanced wave, and crowds can be likely here. The long-period groundswells (over 15 seconds) we see on the 26th, 27th, and 3rd are best suited for this kind of reef break, so the shape should be on point.

Rusty.
