The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and settle in, because I’ve got to be straight with you. Over the next two-and-a-bit weeks, this stretch is going through one of those rough patches where it’s hard to get excited. Let’s break it down.
We’re starting now, and honestly, there’s no surf worth paddling out for on Friday the 24th or Saturday the 25th. Friday morning brings 6 ft SE swell with a short 8-second period, but the wind is howling onshore from the SE at 19 mph, making a mess of things. Wave energy is moderate (744), but the conditions are poor. Saturday the 25th won’t save us either – the swell dips to 4 ft SSW with a longer 12-second period, but the wind is still onshore and lumpy. Not clean, not inviting. The poor surf streak continues straight through Sunday the 26th, Monday the 27th, Tuesday the 28th, and Wednesday the 29th – the swell stays in the 4 ft to 7 ft range but the wind remains onshore or cross-onshore almost the entire time. By Tuesday the 28th, we’re looking at 7 ft SE at 8 seconds with the wind cranking at 19-22 mph directly on it. That’s not surf; that’s a washing machine.
Even when the swell builds toward the end of the month and into August, it’s the same story: onshore wind, poor quality. The water temperature anomaly is not listed in the data, so I can’t comment on that for Anse Bougainville (Seychelles), but given the conditions, the temp doesn’t matter much if you can’t get a clean wave.
If you’re hanging on for any hope, Thursday the 6th of August offers a bigger 8 ft SE swell at 10 seconds with moderate energy (1153), but again the wind is onshore and there are thunderstorms in the forecast. That’s more of a heavy paddle and a beating than a good session.
There’s no standout session here. Crowds are listed as sometimes at Anse Bougainville, but that won't matter when the quality is poor.
Bottom line: this area goes through quiet stretches, and this is one of them. Forecasts can always change, but as it stands, there’s no day I’d get keen for. Check back in a week and see if the wind shifts.
