The Lowdown
Rusty here again, and I’m telling you the same story in feet and miles.
This is a 16-day blank, no question. From Wednesday, July 22nd, all the way to Thursday, August 6th, every surf check at Anse Bougainville comes back as poor. That’s a two-week hole with nothing worth paddling out for.
What’s killing it is the wind. It’s a relentless SE to SSE breeze at 18 to 22 mph, straight onshore. That’s a fresh wind that’ll turn any wave into a mess. The swell sits between 4 and 7 ft, mostly from the SE, with a short period of 8 seconds. A couple of weird mornings show a 3 ft swell from the south with a very long 16-second period, but the wind is still on it, and the report says poor. The wave energy numbers are between 400 and over 1000 (moderate to strong), but it’s all useless with that wind direction. Water temp is 81°F, a touch warmer than average for the season.
There are no standouts. The break is exposed to the SE swell, but the wind is also SE. It’s a total miss. Don’t bother waxing the board. This run is a dead loss.
Rusty.

Information about the Anse Bougainville Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Anse Bougainville provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Anse Bougainville can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Anse Bougainville surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Anse Bougainville) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Anse Bougainville may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
