Boucan Rights Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty checkin’ in with a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.

Alright, we’ve got one spot for us to look at here: Boucan Rights (reef break). The surf window kicks off on Sunday, July 26th and runs right through for a solid run of days. No gaps to worry about here, it’s pretty much game on.

Things start off a little modest on Sunday with a 3 ft cross-on swell from the SW, period is short at 20 seconds and the energy is moderate (764). Honestly, Sunday’s a bit junky – not the day to get excited. But by that afternoon the wind swings SW and goes cross-off, the swell bumps to 4 ft and it cleans right up. That’s the first real taste of good surf. The energy is starting to build (1084).

Now Monday the 27th the swell really starts pushing. Morning has 7 ft from the SW with a 16-second period, and energy is gettin’ strong (3761). The cross-on wind is a light breeze so it’s manageable, but the real standout is Monday afternoon. Wait, actually, the standout slice is gonna be Tuesday the 28th. That Tuesday morning is pure glass – zero wind, 7 ft of SW groundswell at 15 seconds, and the energy is pumping (2777). That’s heavy-duty reef stuff, advanced only – if you know the reef, you’ll be frothing. Tuesday afternoon it’s still real good, slightly smaller 7 ft SSW at 17 seconds, cross-off breeze, clean as a whistle.

Wednesday the 29th stays punchy in the afternoon: 6 ft SSW at 14 seconds, glassy conditions, clean – lovely.

Thursday the 30th morning, glass again with 5 ft SSW – beautiful morning surf, but the afternoon brings rain and a funky onshore wind, so get your session in early.

Friday the 31st has chest-high 5 ft SW with glass again in the morning – another beauty. The afternoon gets a cross-on breeze, but still fun.

Swinging into August: Saturday the 1st and Sunday the 2nd are both stellar. Saturday is 5 ft SW with glass and Sunday bumps to 6 ft SSW with glass – honestly, think I’d pick Sunday the 2nd as the absolute top of this run. 6 ft SSW with a 15-second period, zero wind in the afternoon, screaming energy (1241). It’s about as clean as reef surfing gets. Just know that this spot has crowds ‘often,’ so don’t expect a solo mission.

The start of the second week – Monday the 3rd through Wednesday the 5th – keeps delivering. Glassy mornings, waist-to-chest high waves, clean lines. Wednesday the 5th has a big afternoon bump to 6 ft SSW with a 17-second period and cross-off wind – proper long period groundswell doing its thing on the reef.

Later in the run, Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th are still good, cleaner and smaller in the afternoon, but still glassy conditions. By August 8th and 9th, it’s fading a bit, and the 10th morning drops to tiny 2 ft with low energy (157). The run peters out a bit.

Water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing weird there.

So if you’re asking me, the standout is Sunday, August 2nd. Glassy, solid 6 ft SSW reef-grinder. Tuesday the 28th is a close second for size. Get amongst it.

Rusty.
