Table - best surf conditions forecast for Boucau over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Boucau over the next couple of weeks.
Truth be told, the first week and a half is a bit of a write-off. We’ve got a long stretch from Saturday the 11th through to Tuesday the 21st of July where the surf is either tiny, messy, or just plain ugly. There’s nothing worth paddling out for. The wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, and the swell is weak, with combined energy values barely scraping 100 (102) at best, mostly sitting in the low double digits. It’s a frustrating run of flat, bumpy, or blown-out days.
Things start to get interesting around Monday the 20th, but it’s still not clean. The swell finally picks up to 6ft from the NW, with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 390. But the wind is cross or cross-on, so it’s going to be a choppy mess. By Tuesday the 21st, the swell drops back a bit, and the conditions are still marginal.
The real standout, the one you’ve been waiting for, is Saturday the 25th of July. Boucau is going to see a solid 8ft swell from the NW, with a very long period of 13 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy reading is a massive 1863, which is serious power. The wind is onshore, which is a bummer, but it’s only a light breeze, so it won’t be too messy. This is a big, powerful swell. At 8ft, it’s strictly for the experts though – this is not a day for beginners. The long period will make for some excellent, well-shaped waves, but it’s going to be heavy. The crowds are likely to be a factor here, so get there early.
The morning of Thursday the 24th is worth a mention as a warm-up. The swell is a much more manageable 3ft from the NW, period of 8 seconds, and the wind is offshore from the ENE. That’s clean surf, ideal for a bigger range of surfers. The combined energy is a moderate 132. It’s a far cry from the Saturday power, but it’ll be a fun, clean session.
So, to keep it simple: the first week and a half is a no-go. Wait for the 24th for some clean, smaller waves, and then clear your schedule for the 25th if you’re experienced enough to handle a serious, powerful groundswell. That Saturday is the one.
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.
