Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what we’ve got cookin’ over the next couple of weeks.
First up, the water temp is sitting at 79°F—that’s pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year, nothing wild there. But honestly, the story for the next week is a bit of a washout. From Saturday, July 11th, right through to Sunday, July 26th, every single session is flagged as poor surf conditions. That’s a long, frustrating stretch.
The only break on the menu is Anse Bougainville, a reef setup that’s consistent and takes a solid swell from the SE. It’s usually an intermediate spot, and it’s exposed, so it should be catching energy. Problem is, the wind is howling onshore from the SSE and SE for days on end—12 to 19 mph, sometimes stronger. That’s gonna chop things up something shocking. The swell hangs around 5 ft to 8 ft with a short period mostly between 7 and 10 seconds, so it’s messy, weak-sectioned stuff. The combined energy sits anywhere from 447 (weak) up to 1237 (moderate), but with that constant onshore breeze, it’s just blown-out slop.
There’s a couple of days in the second week—like Friday, July 24th—where the swell bumps up to 8 ft with a bit more energy (1237), but the wind is still on it from the SE at 19 mph. It’s still poor. Same story on Saturday, July 25th: a 4 ft swell from the SSW with a decent 10-second period, but the wind is on again. No clean windows.
Because the wind never turns offshore (that NW offshore we need) and the swell direction is mostly SSE to SE, not the optimum SE the spot wants, it’s just a tough run. Given the consistent onshores and short-period swell, this setup actually looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing—there’s enough wind and wave energy to get the kites going, but for us wave riders, it’s a no-go.
So, plain and simple: there are no good surf options in the entire 16-day window. The break is consistent, it’s just the weather gods aren’t cooperating. It tends not to stay this bad forever—forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it.

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.
