The Lowdown
Alright, I’m looking at the whole 16-day window here, and I’ve got to be straight with you – there’s nothing on the cards that’s really worth paddling out for. The whole forecast is a washout.
The first data we’ve got kicks off on Sunday, July 19th, and it’s a flat-out no-go from the start. We’re looking at Anse Bougainville, a reef setup, and the wind is howling onshore from the SSE at 16 mph all day. The swell is a messy 5 ft from the SE with a short period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate at best (557). It’s just poor surf conditions, and the water is a touch warmer than normal at 80°F.
From there, it just doesn’t get any better. For the next two weeks, the wind stays pinned onshore – mostly from the SE or SSE at 16 to 22 mph – and the wave comment is consistently “poor surf conditions.” The swell height bounces around between 5 ft and 7 ft, but with that wind and a short, weak period, it’s going to be a mess. There’s a moment on Wednesday, July 29th, where we see a 3 ft swell from the south with a very long 19-second period and a combined energy of 1135, which sounds interesting, but it’s still marred by that onshore wind and the comment says “poor surf conditions.” That long-period groundswell would be better for a point or reef, but the wind kills it.
The entire forecast is a blank run. There’s no standout, no hidden gem. For Anse Bougainville, this kind of extended poor run is a bit more normal for the area when the trades are this locked in. It’s a frustrating stretch, but forecasts can change, so keep your eye on the charts.
