Alright, groms and locals, Rusty here, lettin' you know what's what at Boucau for the next couple weeks. Gotta be straight with you – it's a grim stretch. We're staring down a bunch of flat, weak, and messy days with nothing really worth paddling out for. No highlights to shout about, just a couple of fleeting chances if you're really jonesing for a slide.
We start off on Wednesday, July 8th, with absolutely nothing. The swell is puny, 0.4 to 0.6 foot, with weak energy (34-48), and the wind is already blowing it to bits. That nasty pattern sticks around through Thursday and Friday. More small, weak, onshore slop. The combined energy barely scrapes past 100 if at all.
Now, there's a small flicker of hope on Saturday morning, July 11th. We get a bit of a clean-up with a light offshore breeze from the NE. The swell is a tiny 2 feet from the NW, with a combined energy of 112. It's technically surfable, but only just. Very ordinary conditions. The water temp is about average for this time of year. Boucau is an exposed, advanced wave and it *can* be inconsistent. Honestly, this is more of a float than a surf – maybe a chance at a knee-high dribbler. Sunday morning the 12th is even more of a tease with the wind going glassy on a 2-foot, 10-second period NW swell, but the energy is still weak (80). It'll look pretty but there's zero push.
Then we hit a long, boring patch. From Sunday afternoon right through the second week, it's a write-off. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore from the W or NW. The swell does get a bit bigger, but it's always ugly. There's a moment on Friday, July 17th, where the swell hits 5 feet with a moderate 343 combined energy, but the wind is a messy cross-onshore and it's a short-period wind swell at 8 seconds. Just lumpy, bumpy, and no fun. Saturday morning the 18th brings a light offshore wind again, but the swell has already dropped back to a weak 3 feet.
After that, the wheels come off. The wind kicks up stronger, the swell gets bigger but uglier, and while the energy climbs, it just brings choppy, blown-out junk. The surf stays poor all the way through to Wednesday, July 23rd. It’s a long, flat, frustrating stretch. For an exposed spot like Boucau, this kind of dead run is par for the course when the weather patterns lock in.
Leave your stick on the rack and wait for the next swell. This window is all locked up.
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.
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.
