The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s be straight about Boucau – it’s going to be a slow grind for a while. The first week is mostly a dud with tiny, bumpy surf and onshore winds, so don’t waste the energy paddling out.
From now through about August 6th, it’s all small waves and poor conditions. The water’s a warm 76°, which is much warmer than usual for the time of year, so at least the swim will be nice. But the wave energy is weak, with a combined energy of only 40 on the 2nd.
Then on the morning of Thursday, August 6th, we finally get a little pulse. Swell comes up to 3ft from the NW with a 9-second period. The combined energy hits a moderate 154, and the wind swings light cross-offshore, making it clean. It’s surfable, but nothing special.
After that, it’s back to small and bumpy until Thursday, August 13th. The morning of the 13th offers a glassy 3ft from the NNW, but it’s weak (energy 63) and a short 6-second period. Clean conditions but the waves are gutless.
Looking ahead to the morning of Monday, August 17th, there’s a better chance. Swell pushes to 4ft from the NW with a 10-second period, and the combined energy is a moderate 213. The wind is light and cross-shore. It’s the best-looking window in the whole outlook, but being that far out, take it with a grain of salt.
So, don’t hold your breath. The morning of the 6th is your best early bet, and maybe the 17th if the forecast holds. Otherwise, it’s a flat spell.

Information about the Boucau Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Boucau provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Boucau can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Boucau 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 (Boucau) 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 Boucau 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.
Boucau is 5 km (3 miles) from Biarritz. If you plan a holiday in Landes, look for hotels and other accommodation in Biarritz. Biarritz has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
