Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at Anse Bougainville for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, the wind is the enemy. Persistent onshore flow from the SE and SSE is keeping the surf mushy and blown-out. Water temp is normal for the season, nothing unusual.
Starting Monday, July 6th, it’s poor. A 2.3m SE swell with a 35 km/h onshore wind – combined energy is moderate at 800, but the wind kills it. Tuesday the 7th is worse: 2.5m swell, cross-onshore at 40 km/h, energy 874 – real lumpy, no good. Wednesday the 8th, same deal.
Thursday the 9th through Sunday the 12th, the swell drops to 1.3m–1.8m, but the wind stays onshore at 20 km/h. Energy drops to 486–620, so it’s weak and choppy. Not worth it.
Monday the 13th brings more fresh wind and poor surf. Tuesday the 14th and Wednesday the 15th see swell up to 2.0m–2.1m, but still onshore or cross-onshore, short period of 8–9 seconds.
The only day with some real power is Thursday, July 17th – a 2.3m SE swell, period 9 seconds, and combined energy hitting 1041, which is strong. But the wind is still onshore at 30 km/h, so it’s going to be a messy, powerful wall. Experts only, and even then it won’t be pretty.
After that, the 18th and 19th are the same – onshore wind, poor. Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st show swell of 1.7m–2.0m, period up to 10 seconds, and energy climbing to 1268 on the 21st – that’s strong energy. But the wind remains onshore. This honestly looks better for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Truth is, there’s no clean, high-quality surf in this entire 16-day window. The wind just won’t let up. If you’re really jonesing, the 17th of July has the most punch, but don’t expect anything glassy. Forecasts can change, but for now, I’d sit this one out.
Rusty.
