The Lowdown

Right, pull up a stump. Rusty here. Look, I’ve been staring at the charts for Anse Bougainville, and honestly, it’s a bit of a tough one to call. The whole 16-day window is a mess of onshore wind and lumpy surf. We’ve got a long, blank stretch ahead, so don’t get your hopes up for anything clean.

The first real chance of a wave comes on August 5th, Wednesday morning, but it’s a write-off. You’ve got a 5ft swell from the SSE, but it’s onshore with a 19 mph wind. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 82°F, but that’s about the only positive. The wave energy is moderate (588), but the surf quality is poor, so I wouldn’t bother paddling out.

That same pattern just grinds on for days. August 6th, Thursday, sees a 10ft SSE swell, but the wind is screaming onshore at 25 mph. The combined energy jumps to strong (1542), but it’s just a frothy, blown-out mess. For a break like this, it’s more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The wind stays strong and onshore right through the weekend and into the next week. The swell sticks around, with heights between 5ft and 8ft, but the wind never lets up, so the wave comment is always “poor surf conditions.”

We get a tiny reprieve on August 15th, Saturday morning, when the wind shifts to a cross-onshore 19 mph, but it’s still an onshore breeze, and the wave comment is “fresh cross-onshore and lumpy.” The swell is 6ft from the SSE, with a period of 11 seconds, which is a decent groundswell, but the wind just ruins it. The combined energy is moderate (1157).

Honestly, through the whole 16 days, there’s no standout. Every single session is ruined by the wind. The break is a reef, so it needs a clean window, and it’s just not getting one. The period is mostly between 9 and 11 seconds, which is okay, but without the right wind, it’s all for nothing. The good news is the water is about a touch warmer than normal for the time of year.

So, for the next two weeks, I’d leave the board in the car and find something else to do. It’s a blank run. The swell is there, but the wind is the enemy.

Rusty.
