Boucan is a surf spot that offers a mix of reef breaks and interesting waves for surfers looking for something a bit different. It's a spot that can get crowded at times, but it’s also fun and has its reliable days. The area is known to handle swell sizes up to about 10ft (3 meters), making it suitable for surf enthusiasts looking for a bit of a challenge.

The surf at Boucan comes best with a southwest swell direction, but it can also pick up waves from the southeast. Waves here generally break over dead coral, with both left and right hand waves available. The optimal conditions tend to be during low to mid to high tide, giving you a range of options to suit your style. It's great for intermediate surfers looking to improve their skills, as the waves can be playful but also pack a punch when the conditions are solid, particularly with the right-handers that can barrel up nicely when the swell is solid.

While Boucan can get crowded, it does have the advantage of being accessible with a variety of wave sizes. The spot works best on a day with southeast winds, so keep an eye on the weather when planning your surf session. If you’re in the area, it’s a good idea to check it out, especially when the swell is pumping!
