The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the forecast is a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch of pretty ordinary conditions before we get anything worth paddling out for. The first decent window doesn't show up until Tuesday morning, the 28th of July. Before that, it’s just a lot of onshore wind and messy, weak surf. The water temp is a warm 77°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won't need a thick suit.
The standout of the whole period, no question, is Tuesday morning, the 28th of July at Boucau. This is the one to circle. We’ve got a clean 4ft swell wrapping in from the NW, with a period of 10 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell with some shape to it. The wind is a glassy offshore from the E, so the surface will be like a mirror. The combined energy is moderate at 318. It’s an exposed beach, so that long-period swell might make it a bit straight, but with those conditions, it’s worth the look. Get on it early. Crowds are possible here, so don’t sleep in.
After that morning glory, the window closes quickly. Tuesday afternoon gets a bit lumpy, and Wednesday morning the 29th is glassy again but the swell drops to 3ft with only 166 energy. It’s surfable, but nothing special. Thursday morning the 30th is another glassy 3ft day, but it’s weak.
From there, it’s a slow fade. The rest of the first week of August is a story of tiny, weak swells and onshore breezes. The combined energy drops into the 20s and 30s. There’s a moment on Wednesday morning, the 5th of August, with a very long period 13-second swell from the WNW, but it’s only 1ft. That’s a tease, not a session.
So, bottom line: the only real quality window is that Tuesday morning, the 28th. Don’t expect much else. If you’re not keen on that one, it’s a long wait.
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.
