The Lowdown
Well, with the data I've got here, I'm looking at Anse Bougainville, and honestly, it's a tough stretch for the next 16 days. The forecast just doesn't line up. The wind is hammering onshore from the SE the whole time, and the surf quality is flagged as poor for every single session. There's no good window to recommend.
The first real chance at a wave comes on the 3rd of September, with a 8ft swell from the SE, but the wind is a nasty 22 mph onshore, making it a mess. The combined wave energy is high (1437), but it's all for naught with that wind. This pattern just keeps repeating. By the 5th, the swell is down to 6ft, but the wind is still onshore, and the wave energy is moderate (924). There's a long period groundswell on the 9th of September (16 seconds, 3ft from the S), but again, the wind is onshore, so it'll be a blown-out, bumpy affair. The energy is solid (884), but it's wasted.
The blank run is relentless. There's not a single day where the wind switches to something clean. Even on the 14th, with a 6ft SE swell and a moderate breeze, it's still onshore. The water temperature at the start is 80°, which is about normal for this time of year.
For a spot like this, a blank run of this length is more normal than a surprise. The setup is a reef, so you'd hope for a clean window, but the consistent onshore wind kills it. Honestly, with the swell and the wind, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than someone trying to paddle. All the energy is there, but the conditions are just wrong for a clean face.
Hang in there, but I wouldn't be waxing the board for this stretch.
