G'day, Rusty here, and we've got a bit of a flat spell to work through to be honest. For the next couple of weeks at Boucau, the swell is just not kicking in like we'd want. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a struggle. There's a big gap of days with no real surf on offer to start. We're talking about a run of poor conditions from July 4th right through to July 16th. A lot of the time, the wind's onshore or cross-on, and the waves are small and messy.
The first real chance to get a wetsuit on for something decent is the morning of July 18th. The swell is only 4ft from the NW, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 180. The real highlight here is the wind: it's glassy. That's a major positive, and it'll make for clean, smooth faces. The break is rated for advanced surfers, but with the swell this size, it's not a big, scary day. It's fairly consistent, so there should be a few waves. Just keep in mind, the water is much warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 74°, which is a solid 7° above average. That's very unusual.
After that, the afternoon of the 18th gets a bit chopped up with a cross-onshore wind, and the 19th is back to onshore winds, so that glassy morning on the 18th is the only true standout. The swell is coming from the NW, which isn't the optimum W direction, but we'll take what we can get. This is a long-range call, so it's promising but not set in stone. Light crowds are possible, which is a bonus.
Alright, keep an eye on the charts, and I'll see you out there.

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.
