The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – this isn't our best run. The data for Anse Bougainville is as bleak as a flat spell in August. Every single slot in the forecast period is marked as poor surf conditions, so there's no standout session to chase. We're looking at a full 16-day gap with zero recommendations. That's a tough one for the area.
The whole run is poisoned by a relentless onshore wind. Starting Friday the 7th, we've got a stiff SE breeze howling at 25 mph, and it barely lets up. The swell is actually there, plenty of it – building from 8 ft to 8 ft on the Saturday and Sunday, with a moderate combined energy of over 1000 (1002 to 1354). But it's all wind-slapped. The wind is blowing straight onto the coast, making it ugly. The swell direction is from the SE, which is the optimum for this reef, but it just doesn't matter when the wind is that strong.
The water temp is about 82°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's a small comfort when you're getting blown off your board.
The pattern doesn't really change. The wind drops a notch to a moderate breeze around the 11th, but it's still onshore, and the swell drops to 5 ft. By the 14th, we get a brief window with an ESE wind, still onshore, with 4 ft to 5 ft SSE swell. The long period starts to creep in on the 17th, with a 17-second swell from the S, creating a strong combined energy of 1614. But the wind is still a fresh 19 mph onshore. That long period, straight-period swell on a beach setup? That's going to be a close-out mess.
Honestly, for the entire 16 days, the wind is just too strong and from the wrong direction for any decent paddle surfing. This setup, with that much swell and that much onshore wind, looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Keep the boards in the bag, or find a place that's sheltered from this relentless SE blast. The forecast is for a blank run, and it's a long one. For the area, when it goes this bad, it tends not to stay poor for long, but right now, we're in the thick of it.
Rusty.
