The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for the next two weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – this is a rough stretch. The wind is a constant problem. For the entire 16-day window, it’s blowing onshore from the SE or SSE, and that’s just going to chop up everything we’ve got. The surf is there, but it’s a messy, blown-out affair with no real standouts. The forecast calls it "poor surf conditions" from start to finish, and I can’t argue with that.
We start off on Sunday, the 6th of September, with a SSE swell of 5 ft at Anse Bougainville (reef). The wind is already on it at 12 mph, and that’s the story for the whole first week. The swell size bounces around, but the wind never lets up. We’ve got a bit of a pulse around the 10th of September, with a S swell of 5 ft and a long period of 15 seconds. The combined energy bumps up to a moderate 1565, but that long period groundswell wants a clean face, and it’s not going to get it with the wind hammering it. A spot like this, which is aligned to the SE, loves a SE swell, but the wind is just ruining the party.
There’s a long gap here with no let-up. The wind stays on, the swell stays on, but nothing is clean. By the 15th of September, we’re seeing 7 ft from the SE, but it’s short period at 8 seconds and the wind is still fresh. That’s a messy, lumpy wall. Around the 17th of September, the swell pushes up to 8 ft, and again on the 18th and 19th we see 8 ft from the SE. The combined energy is strong, hitting 1245, but it’s all wind-chop. For a reef break, that’s just not going to be any fun. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no complaints there.
Honestly, if you’re a kitesurfer, this setup looks more interesting than it does for a paddle surfer. The wind is strong and consistent, the swell is there, but for a normal surfer, it’s a hard pass. The whole 16-day window is a write-off in terms of quality. It’s just one of those runs for the area.
Rusty.
