The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down.
Honestly, mate, the next 16 days at Anse Bougainville are a tough watch. The wind is just relentless – blowing onshore or cross-onshore pretty much the whole time, and often a fresh breeze at that. It’s not often you see a run this long with nothing to get excited about. From Thursday the 30th of July all the way through to Friday the 14th of August, the pattern stays stubborn: moderate to strong SE winds, keeping that surface lumpy and chopped up. There’s not a single day where I’d point you to the water and say “go now.” The wave energy builds up significantly by the second week – by Wednesday the 12th of August the combined energy is strong at 1890, and Thursday the 13th hits a very strong 2311 with some long-period 12-second SE swell pushing 8 ft – but with 22 mph onshore winds and the whole setup being a reef break that’s exposed to the wind, it’s going to be a messy, blown-out affair. The swell direction from the SE lines up with the optimum, but that doesn’t mean a thing when the wind is wrecking it. Even on a few of the calmer afternoons, like Tuesday the 11th of August, you’ve got moderate cross-onshore and chop. There’s just no standout window here. For context, water temps are probably running average for this time of year, but with the wind howling, you won’t be lingering. If you’re a kiter, the setup from the 4th of August onward with solid SE swell and strong onshore wind might look interesting, but for a paddle surfer, this stretch is a write-off.
