The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty here. We’ve got a solid run of surf coming up at Boucan Rights, a reef break that’s best for advanced crew. The water’s sitting at 25°—a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a nice bonus.
The pattern kicks off Wednesday morning, August 5th, with small but clean 2ft swell from the SW, a very long period of 15 seconds, and light cross-offshore wind. The combined energy is moderate (298). This is a quiet start, but the quality is there. Wednesday afternoon picks up slightly to 3ft SW swell with a clean offshore breeze—still small but fun.
Thursday morning, August 6th, holds 3ft SW swell, period dropping to 13 seconds, with light cross-off wind. The afternoon turns a bit messy with cross-on wind, so aim for the mornings. Friday morning, August 7th, is glassy with 3ft SW swell, but the period drops to 12 seconds and energy is lower (191). Friday afternoon sees a spike in period to 22 seconds with 1ft SSW swell—long-period groundswell, but tiny, and glassy conditions make it a cruiser session.
Now, the standout window starts Saturday, August 8th. Saturday morning is glassy, 4ft SW swell at 18 seconds, with strong energy (779). Saturday afternoon stays glassy, 4ft SW swell, 16 seconds, energy (798). This is clean, lined-up reef surf. Sunday morning, August 9th, is glassy again, 4ft SW, 15 seconds (568). The pattern holds through Monday, August 10th, with 4ft to 4ft SW swell, glassy or offshore winds, and energy climbing to 860 by Monday afternoon. Tuesday, August 11th, stays strong with 4ft SW swell, glassy conditions, and energy around 689.
The best of the entire run hits on Friday, August 14th, through Saturday, August 15th. Friday morning delivers 6ft SSW swell at 12 seconds, glassy, with massive energy (1316). Friday afternoon is 6ft S swell, 11 seconds, glassy, energy (1528). This is excellent for experienced surfers. Saturday morning, August 15th, pumps 5ft SW swell, 18 seconds—very long period—with cross-offshore wind, energy (1956). Saturday afternoon goes off: 6ft SW swell, 18 seconds, glassy, energy (2632). That’s the top session—big, clean, powerful reef waves. Sunday, August 16th, stays excellent with 6ft SSW swell, 16 seconds, glassy in the morning, energy (1794), then cross-offshore in the afternoon.
After that, the swell eases Monday, August 17th, to 4ft SSW, then drops through the rest of the week. By Thursday, August 20th, it’s down to 2ft SW, with poor conditions on the afternoon. There’s a solid 10-day stretch of quality surf, with the absolute peak on August 15th. Crowds are often here, so expect company. This is a spot for the gutsy crew—don’t take it lightly.

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.
