The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch for Anse Bougainville. The whole 16-day window is pretty much a write-off for good, clean surf. We’re looking at a full two weeks with nothing rideable, so don’t bother waxing up just yet.

The issue is a persistent, strong onshore wind hammering this exposed reef break. From Tuesday 1st September right through to Wednesday 16th September, it’s a constant stream of SE to SSE winds, mostly at 19 mph, gusting up to 22 mph. That’s heavy onshore, and it’s destroying any chance of a decent wave face. Even when there’s some size – like the 10 ft swell from the SSE on the 1st with a moderate energy reading (2121) – it’s just going to be a messy, blown-out wall. That kind of height is also too much for beginners.

Later on, around the 14th, we see a 3 ft swell from the south with a very long period of 18 seconds (moderate energy at 1281). Long-period groundswell like that is pure gold for points and reefs, but with the onshore wind still howling at 19 mph, it’s a wasted opportunity. It’ll just be bumpy and lumpy. For a brief moment on the 13th, the wind swings to a cross-on direction, but it’s still too strong to fix the mess.

The water temp is a stable 80°, which is about average for this time of year.

With the wind and consistent swell direction pinning this break, honestly, a setup like this – exposed reef with strong sideshore winds – starts to look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There’s plenty of energy in the water (the combined energy values often sit in the high three-digit range, and even hit four digits), but the conditions just aren’t there for us wave riders.

Hang tight. It’s a blank run, but forecasts can change. As soon as that wind swings offshore, this place could fire again.

Rusty.
