Boucan Rights Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get after it. Rusty here.

We’re starting at Boucan Rights, a reef break that needs some swell to wake up. The water’s about 77°, a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.

First real chance hits Sunday morning, August 2nd. We’ve got a clean 4ft swell from the SSW with a long 14-second period, and a light cross-off breeze. It’s not huge, but the energy’s solid and the conditions are clean for experienced surfers. This spot is consistent and can get a crowd.

Sunday afternoon gets a bit messy – swell bumps to 5ft with a very long 16-second period, but the wind goes onshore and the tide might be an issue. Not the pick.

Monday the 3rd is a beauty. Morning is glassy, 4ft from the SW at 14 seconds. Clean, long lines. The afternoon stays glassy with 4ft SW at 13 seconds – very surfable, but the morning is the one.

Tuesday the 4th through to Friday the 7th sees a drop-off – down to around 2ft to 3ft. Periods stay nice, mornings are mostly glassy or clean, but it’s marginal for a proper session. Energy drops way down.

Saturday the 8th brings a pulse. Afternoon turns glassy, 4ft SW at 16 seconds, energy back up. Cleaner lines start to show.

Sunday the 9th is a full day of glassy, clean 4ft SW at 14-15 seconds. Good, long rides.

Monday the 10th holds that trend – morning clean at 4ft SW, 15 seconds. The afternoon goes glassy with an ESE breeze. Solid day.

Now here’s the good stuff. Tuesday the 11th: morning is glassy, 5ft SW with a very long 20-second period! Energy is strong. That’s a groundswell – only for the experienced. The afternoon gets cross-onshore and lumpy at 7ft – skip it.

Wednesday the 12th: morning glass and 8ft SW at 16 seconds, energy very strong. Big, clean, experts only. The afternoon goes cross-onshore with rain.

Thursday the 13th: morning clean at 7ft SW, cross-off breeze. The afternoon gets a moderate 12 mph cross-off, 8ft SSW – still clean but windy.

Friday the 14th: morning glassy with 7ft SSW, then afternoon clean cross-off at 7ft. Good solid days.

Saturday the 15th: morning glassy calm, 6ft SW at 14 seconds. The afternoon goes offshore with a moderate 12 mph from the SSE – clean and punchy. That’s a top pick for the week.

Sunday the 16th drops a little: morning glassy 4ft SW at 13 seconds, afternoon glassy 3ft with a very long 18-second period. Clean but smaller.

The grand finale. Monday the 17th: morning glassy, 10ft SSW at 16 seconds, energy extremely strong. But the afternoon… glassy calm, 12ft S at 16 seconds, massive energy. That’s exceptional – experts only. This is the standout of the whole 16 days.

Best bets for experienced surfers: Monday the 17th afternoon and morning, with the 11th and 15th close behind. First week is small and clean, second week is where the big, clean, powerful swell arrives.
