Table - best surf conditions forecast for Boucau over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here, looking at the surf prospects for Boucau over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a bit of a tough stretch ahead. We're looking at a solid gap of pretty ordinary conditions kicking off the period. Right off the bat, Friday the 10th is a write-off with weak 2ft swell and onshore junk. The whole first week is rough – tiny waves, onshore winds, and poor quality. We're looking at a long dry spell until things maybe start to show some signs of life around the 18th and 19th.
The true standout, if you can call it that, is Saturday the 19th. We’ve got a jump in energy with the combined swell energy hitting 374 (moderate wave energy) early, and the swell bumps up to 5ft out of the NW with a 9-second period. Now, the downside is the onshore wind, so it'll be messy, and at 5ft, it's getting a bit much for beginners. You'd want to be an advanced surfer for that one.
Monday the 21st might offer a glimmer with the wind easing to a cross-on light breeze in the morning, and the swell holding at 4ft from the NW with 9-second period. The combined energy is 235, so there's some punch there, but it's still far from perfect.
The very end of the window, Friday the 24th, looks promising as a long-range call. The morning shows clean conditions with offshore ENE wind at 6 mph and a 3ft NW swell with a 10-second period (combined energy 141). That's a setup that could offer some clean little waves for the more experienced crew, but keep in mind this is a week and a half out, so treat it as a hopeful possibility, not a sure thing.
The bottom line: Boucau is going to be a tough call for the next two weeks. For the crew who are desperate, the 19th has the most size but comes with wind issues, while the 24th looks cleaner but smaller and is a long way off. Kite surfers might find more to like on the windier, choppier days than us paddle surfers.
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.
