The Lowdown
Hey, it's Rusty. Let's break down the surf for Boucan Rights.
The first few days are a slow grind, but just wait for the payoff. The water's sitting at about 76°, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
We start this Sunday afternoon with a weak little southwest groundswell at about 3 feet, but the energy's low (408) – just a teaser.
Then Monday the 20th is the big change. The morning brings a solid 7-foot groundswell from the SSW, a 14-second period, and the wave energy jumps to the strong range (1987). The wind is glassy from the north, so it's going to be clean and powerful. This is expert-only for sure at a reef break with that size.
That clean, powerful SSW groundswell sticks around through Tuesday and Wednesday. We're talking 5 to 7 feet of clean, lined-up surf. A dream run for the crew that knows what they're doing.
Thursday the 23rd is a step down to about 4 feet from the south, but still a 12-second period and glassy in the morning – a great fun day for an advanced surfer.
Now, for the real standout window: Monday the 27th. The morning is pumping an 8-foot SSW swell at 12 seconds, glassy wind, and massive energy (3073). This is big, powerful, and clean. If you're an expert, this is your session. The following days, Tuesday the 28th and Wednesday the 29th, back it up with more solid 7 to 8-foot waves and even longer 15-16 second periods. The wave energy stays high.
Thursday the 30th has a sneaky clean afternoon set with a 6-foot groundswell from the SSW and a 16-second period on glass – a really nice window.
From the 31st through to the 2nd of August, the size stays big (9-10 feet) but the winds get a bit cross-onshore, so the waves won't be quite as perfect. Still a lot of power moving. By the 3rd it starts to ease off.
So, the long and short of it: a slow start, but from the 20th to the 29th of July, there's a lot of quality, powerful groundswell on offer, especially for experienced surfers.
Rusty.

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.
