Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the local stretch.
Honestly, the next week or so is looking pretty grim. We've got a run of small, weak, and often onshore waves that just aren't worth getting wet for. The first real chance of anything decent doesn't show up until the second week, and even then, we've got to be picky.
Right now, on Friday the 3rd, there's a bit of swell in the water at Boucau, around 4ft from the NW, but the wind is a cross-onshore from the NW at 6 mph. The water is a very unusual 74°, much warmer than normal for this time of year, but the surf conditions are just poor. The wave energy is moderate (375), but you wouldn't know it from the surface. It's not worth a paddle.
Saturday the 4th is more of the same – smaller and just as messy. We don't see any real improvement until Sunday morning the 5th. It'll be tiny, only 2ft from the NW, but for one brief moment, the wind goes glassy from the NNE. The wave energy is weak (135). It's surfable, but very ordinary; you'd be scratching for tiny, weak waves.
After that, we’re in a proper flat spell. Monday the 6th through to Friday the 17th are all characterised by tiny swell, mostly under 2ft, with poor conditions and very weak energy (often under 100). There are a few glassy mornings here and there, like Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th, but the waves are barely there. It's a long, dry stretch.
The one standout in the whole 16-day forecast is Saturday the 18th of July. On the Saturday morning, we see a bump in swell to 4ft from the NW, with a 9-second period and a jump in energy to 313 (moderate). The wind is onshore from the W at 9 mph, which is not ideal. The afternoon drops off a bit to 4ft (252 energy) with a lighter onshore breeze from the WNW. While the wind isn't perfect, this is the biggest and most energetic swell of the entire forecast window, so it's the best bet for a surf. It's not a classic, but after all the flatness, it's the only window with any real push.
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.
