The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s on the cards for Anse Bougainville.
The first few days are just plain ugly. Tuesday and Wednesday (the 11th and 12th) have solid onshore winds making a mess of things. The swell is running 5ft to 7ft from the SSE, but with those cross-onshore winds, it’s all choppy and lumpy. Combined energy is moderate, between 490 and 993, but you wouldn’t know it from the surface.
Thursday (the 13th) is a bit easier on the wind, but still cross-onshore, and the surf quality is poor. Nothing doing.
Then, Friday morning (14th August) is your one golden window. It goes glassy – zero wind – with a clean 5ft swell from the SSE at 11 seconds. That’s a nice groundswell for a reef break. Combined energy is moderate at 658. The water is a touch warmer than average at 81°, which is sweet. This is the best it’s gonna get. It’s small enough for intermediates, but the shape should be good. You might have some company, though.
Friday afternoon gets a light cross-shore breeze and marginal tide conditions – still rideable but not as clean. From Saturday (15th August) onward, it’s right back to onshore winds and poor conditions all the way through the end of the forecast. Later in the run there are some big, long-period swells (up to 22 seconds) with high energy numbers, like 1689 and even 3237, but the wind is straight onshore, so it’ll be blown out junk. For the kite crew, those days might be interesting, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a long stretch of rough water.
So really, the whole 16 days comes down to that one Friday morning (14th). If you’re keen, that’s your moment. After that, it’s a waiting game.
Stay salty, dudes.
Rusty.
