Boucan Rights Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it for the next couple of weeks.

We've got a solid run of surf coming up, all focused on one spot: Boucan Rights. This is a consistent reef break that’s set to fire, but it's for advanced surfers only. The water is sitting at 77°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.

The action starts Friday morning, July 3rd. Boucan Rights sees a clean 5ft SW swell with a 14-second period rolling in. Combined wave energy is moderate (917), and with glassy conditions and no wind, it's going to be a great session. The crowds are likely here, but for good reason. Friday afternoon stays just as good, with a 4ft SW swell and offshore winds from the SSE keeping things clean.

Saturday the 4th is another beauty. Morning glass with a 5ft SSW swell, and the afternoon cleans up with glassy conditions on a 5ft SSW swell. The energy is still moderate (902 and 758), but the quality is top-notch.

Now, Sunday the 5th is where things step up. The swell drops a touch to 4ft in the morning, but the period jumps to 17 seconds – that's very long period groundswell. The energy rockets up to strong (1485). A swell this long can be tricky on a reef, but for a point-like setup like Boucan Rights, it should line up beautifully. The wind is cross-offshore, so it's still clean. By Sunday afternoon, we're looking at a 7ft SW swell with a 15-second period and energy at 2010. This is expert territory.

Monday the 6th and Tuesday the 7th are the main event. Monday has a solid 7ft swell with moderate offshore winds, and it's clean. Tuesday hits the peak. Morning sees an 8ft S swell with a short 9-second period, energy at a very strong 2279, and clean offshore wind. But Tuesday afternoon is the standout of the whole run. A 10ft S swell with an 11-second period, combined energy at a massive 3600, and gentle offshore winds. This is big, powerful, and clean. This is for experienced surfers only.

After Tuesday, the swell starts to ease but remains very good. Wednesday the 8th has 5ft with glassy conditions, and the pattern holds through the end of the week. A smaller, clean pulse comes in on Saturday the 11th, with a glassy 6ft SW groundswell (16 seconds, energy 1696). Then Sunday the 12th brings another big pulse: 8ft in the morning, and a 10ft SSW swell in the afternoon with glassy conditions and an energy reading of 3953. That's another day for the big dogs.

Monday the 13th is a little mixed – an 8ft SSW swell in the morning with onshore wind, making it marginal. But the afternoon glass-off saves it. The following days, through to Wednesday the 15th, still have fun waves in the 4ft to 7ft range with mostly clean conditions. From Thursday the 16th onward, the surf drops off. Thursday is poor with knee-high wind-affected junk. Friday the 17th through Saturday the 18th are surfable but ordinary, with tiny 1ft to 2ft swells and weak energy (under 160). The run is done.

If you're an experienced surfer, this is a dream run. The absolute standouts are Tuesday the 7th afternoon for raw power and Sunday the 12th afternoon for the same reason – both delivering big, clean, offshore conditions at Boucan Rights.

Rusty.
