Hey, Rusty here. Gotta level with you—this 16-day stretch for Anse Bougainville is lookin’ pretty rough. No real gems in the bunch. Swell’ll show up, but the wind’s gonna keep things messy most of the time. You might find a window or two for a so-so session, but don’t expect perfection. Into the second week, there’s some serious energy in the water, but the wind’s gonna ruin it.
Water’s 80°F—right on average for this time of year, so no need for a wetsuit.
Friday July 3rd kicks off with chest-high SSE swell, about 5ft, but short period at 8 seconds, weak energy (432). Onshore SSE wind at 12 mph—choppy, ugly. Saturday July 4th sees a slight bump to 5ft with a 10-second period (energy 528), lighter ESE wind at 9 mph but still onshore. A bit cleaner, but still poor. Sunday July 5th is more of the same: 4 to 5ft, onshore wind picking up to 16 mph. Choppy.
Monday July 6th the swell hits 7ft from the SE, period 9 seconds, moderate energy (818). But fresh SE wind at 19 mph onshore—lumpy and tough. Too big for beginners, and the wind’s killing it. Tuesday July 7th and Wednesday July 8th hold 8 to 8ft swell, cross-onshore wind at 22 mph—strong energy (858 to 1037), but it’s fresh cross-onshore and lumpy. More a kite-surfing setup than paddling.
Your best bet is Saturday July 11th. Swell drops to 5-5ft from the S, 10-second period (energy around 660), wind easing to 9-12 mph from the SSE, but still cross-onshore. The wave comment calls it “marginal” instead of “poor,” so it’s the only day that might have a couple rideable waves. Crowds are possible, so you won’t be alone.
Then it’s back to poor surf. Sunday July 12th to Tuesday July 14th: swell 5-7ft, onshore winds, nothing special. Wednesday July 15th throws a weird one—very long period groundswell from the S/SSW at 18-19 seconds, huge energy (1931 to 2063), but the swell height is only 4 to 5ft. That long period means clean lines, but fresh cross-onshore or onshore wind spoils it. If the wind backed off, it’d be a dream, but it’s not happening.
Thursday July 16th back to 8ft SE swell, cross-onshore fresh breeze, lumpy. Too big and messy. The final days, Friday July 17th to Saturday July 18th, have 6-8ft swell, onshore wind—energy moderate to strong, but no quality.
Bottom line? No standout. The one day to maybe bother is Saturday July 11th for the cleanest (relatively) conditions. Everything else is wind-chopped and ugly. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a long stretch of poor surf.
Rusty.

Information about the Anse Bougainville Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Anse Bougainville provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Anse Bougainville can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Anse Bougainville surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Anse Bougainville) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Anse Bougainville may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
