The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here from the beach. Let's be honest, the outlook for Boucau is a tough one to swallow. For a solid week and a half, from Friday, July 31st, through to Friday, August 7th, it's a total bust. The swell is tiny, the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, and the energy is just sad. The combined swell energy is barely reaching 50 (48 on Friday morning), which is practically nothing. You'd be better off just polishing your board.
There's a tiny flicker of hope on Saturday, August 8th. The morning looks glassy from the NNE, with a 0.8m swell from the WNW. The energy climbs to 61, and the report says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." It's not going to be any kind of epic day, but it's the first real shot you'll get. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it'll be a bit disorganized, but for a few fun little waves, it's the only option. It's a fairly consistent spot, so expect a few other folks to be out.
Sunday, August 9th morning offers another small window with glassy conditions and a 0.6m swell from the NNW. Again, the energy is low (57), and the period is a super short 5 seconds, so it'll just be a close-out. That's it for the highlights. It's a long, dry run. For beginners, there's nothing here at all. For the rest of us, it's time to find something else to do until the 15th.

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.
