Boucau Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for Boucau.

Mate, to be brutally honest, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and messy. We've got a run of small, weak swell with periods that are all over the shop, and the wind is rarely on our side. The combined energy is weak, mostly under 100 for the entire stretch, which tells you everything you need to know. There's no real punch in the water.

The only window that even looks surfable is this Thursday morning. We've got a tiny 2ft of swell from the WNW, with a period of 10 seconds. The real kicker here is the wind: glassy, from the north at just 3 mph. That's the cleanest air we'll see. That's your best chance to get a few small, clean lines, but it's not going to fire. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.

After that, it's a long grind. Friday morning through to the end of the week is a write-off: onshore winds, windswell, or just too small. The combined energy drops into the teens and single digits. Saturday morning has a bit of clean, offshore wind from the east, but the swell is only 2ft and the energy is 92 (weak). It's a knee-high possibility.

Come Sunday morning, we get another glassy spell with that tiny 2ft, but it's still not enough to get excited about. From Monday onward, the wind turns onshore again, and the swell is a messy mix of short-period junk. There's a slight uptick around the 20th and 21st of July, with some 4ft swell, but it's all windswell with a period of 5-6 seconds and onshore winds. It's not going to be good. The combined energy climbs to 111 on the 21st afternoon (moderate), but it's blown out.

Honestly, for a break that's exposed to the west, this is a pretty barren run. If you're desperate, get out Thursday morning for a glassy knee-high paddle. Otherwise, wait for a better forecast.

Rusty.
