The Lowdown
Alright folks, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it. The 16-day outlook for Anse Bougainville is rough. This reef break, while consistent, is facing a storm of bad wind for almost the entire period.
From the 10th of August through to the 13th, it's all onshore junk. Moderate to fresh breezes from the southeast and south are just tearing up the surface. There's swell, sure, but it's no good for paddling.
Your one and only chance is Friday morning, the 14th of August. It's looking glassy with a slight SSE air, and a clean 4.6ft swell from the SSE with a decent 11-second period. The water's sitting at 80.9°, a touch warmer than normal. Get on it early, because the wind shifts in the afternoon. You'll probably have some company out there, as it can get busy.
From the 15th onward, it's a mess. The onshore wind just hammers us. Sure, there's some big combined energy kicking around – over 1400 on the 17th with 4.2ft swell – but with a fresh breeze onshore, this beach and reef setup is more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. This nasty onshore pattern doesn't let up until the end of the forecast on the 25th.
It's a long, dry stretch. Your only window is that Friday dawn patrol. Don't sleep on it.
