The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya from the beach. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – it's a bit of a rough run. The first few days are a write-off, with barely any swell and onshore junk. It's gonna be a long wait until things start to show a little promise. We're looking at a solid week of nothing before we finally get a window of something surfable.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Tuesday, July 28th. The morning is looking like the pick of the whole outlook, with clean, glassy conditions. The swell is small at around 4ft from the NW, with an 10-second period, so it's a bit of a lazy groundswell. The energy is weak (273), so you won't be getting any big power, but it'll be clean. The water is a standout – it's much warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 77°F.
Then, hold onto your hats for Sunday, August 2nd. The morning is a proper standout. We get a nice 5ft NW swell, still with that 8-second period, but the real magic is the wind. It's a gentle offshore breeze from the East, keeping things clean and lined up. The energy is moderate (304), so there's a bit more push behind it. This is the best on offer. Boucau will be the place to be, but with clean conditions like that and a decent swell, expect the crowds to be there.
After that, it fades back into small and messy conditions. The following week drops off significantly, with a few glassy mornings but the swell is just too small and weak to get excited about, with a combined energy barely cracking 100. There's a bit of a bump on the 4th and 5th, but it's not much more than knee-high dribble.
So, if you've got the patience, the real window is the morning of July 28th for clean, small waves, and the absolute standout is the morning of August 2nd. After that, it's a waiting game again.
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.
