The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for this stretch ahead. We’ve got one spot on the radar, and it’s gonna be a bit of a wait before anything really worth paddling out for shows up.
Looking at the whole picture, it’s a pretty quiet start. The conditions are blown out and lumpy for the first week and a half, with strong onshore winds and mostly poor surf quality. You’re looking at a lot of wind-affected swell early on, so save the wax for later. There is a notable gap of about ten days with no decent opportunities before things start to look a little more promising.
The best of the entire forecast period comes in around the second weekend of September. The standout window is on Thursday, 10th of September, out at Anse Bougainville. The wind will be light and cross-onshore, not the cleanest but a huge step up from the blasting winds we’ve been seeing. The swell will be a solid 5 ft from the south with a very long period of 18 seconds. That’s proper groundswell, with a ton of energy behind it (combined wave energy at 2066). It’ll be a bit of a wait between sets, but those waves will have serious shape and push. Given the long period and the reef setup, this spot will handle it well, offering up some nice lines.
On Friday, 11th of September, it gets a bit more consistent but a touch smaller, with 7 ft swell from the southeast. The period drops to 9 seconds, meaning it’s a more wind-swell mix, but there will be more waves rolling through. It’s still a viable option for intermediates, but the earlier day is the true stand-out.
For the beginners out there, steer clear of the bigger days. The swell hits 8 ft and even 10 ft in the last week of August, but with strong onshore winds and “poor surf conditions,” it’s not one for the loggers.
Water temps around here are not noted, so assume what you’d expect for the season.
Overall, don’t bother with the first week. Keep your eyes on the 10th and the 11th of September. It’s a long wait, but it could shape up nicely.
Stay patient.
Rusty.
