The Lowdown
Right, listen up. Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s happening.
Well, this is a bit of a flat spell for Boucau, I’m not gonna lie. The first week is a write-off, morning glass-offs and tiny dribble won't get you out of bed. We’ve got a solid stretch of nothing worthwhile from now until the 9th of August. The best you’ll find is some clean, knee-high slop on the morning of the 1st with a tiny 2ft NW swell and glassy conditions, but it’s weak energy (59) and the ride is just ordinary. The water is sitting at 76° which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be sweating in a spring suit.
The standout, and I mean the only real window, is on the morning of Sunday the 9th of August. The swell kicks up to 4ft from the WNW, and the combined energy ramps up to a moderate 232. The wind is light onshore from the WNW, so it’ll be a bit bumpy, but it’s the biggest push we’ve seen. For an advanced surfer, this is the one to circle. The 8-second period means it’s a short-period wind swell, not a groundswell, so it’ll be a bit lumpy and soft, but it’s the only size on offer. After that, the energy drops back down, and we’re back to small, weak surf for the rest of the fortnight.
The Monday morning of the 10th has a clean 3ft NW swell with glassy conditions, but it’s a step down in size. The 12th morning has a bit of punch with a 2ft WNW swell and a longer 10-second period, the energy is moderate (125) but the height is just too small to get excited about. Honestly, the 9th is your only real shot. The rest of the 16 days is a long, flat stretch.
Rusty.

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.
