Alright, Rusty here. Let’s cut to the chase. This 16-day stretch for Anse Bougainville (Seychelles) is a total dud. There’s not a single good surf session in the whole window. The ocean has energy, but the wind is just killing everything.
From day one, Sunday the 12th of July, we’re looking at a 4ft SSE swell, but it’s got a 12 mph cross-onshore wind, making it messy and choppy. The energy is moderate (501), but it’s a write-off. That pattern holds through Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th, with the swell hitting 5ft, but the wind jumps to 19 mph, making it lumpy. Everything is rated poor.
Midweek, Wednesday the 15th, the swell bumps up to 7ft from the SE, with a 9-second period, and the wind is directly onshore at 15-19 mph. At nearly 7ft, that’s only for experts, and with that onshore gunk, it’s just ugly. The combined energy is strong (781-827), but it’s wasted. The water temp is about 79°, which is standard for the season.
The second week keeps the same script. From the 20th of July, we’ve got 6ft to 8ft SSE swell, with onshore winds and poor conditions. By the 24th and 25th, the swell is 8ft to 8ft, with combined energy over 1000 (strong), but it’s all onshore wind. This whole setup looks a lot more fun for kite surfing than for paddle surfing.
Even the long-range stuff, like the 27th of July, shows a drop to 5ft, but the wind is still cross-onshore and lumpy. There’s just no clean window. It happens around here when the trades lock in. The ocean is full of energy, just not for us. Stay patient.
Rusty.
