Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next stretch.

Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window is looking like a write-off. We've got a solid but persistent SSE wind that just won't let up, and it's blowing straight onshore or cross-onshore for the entire run. That means the surf, while there is some size, is going to be chopped up and lumpy. There's no real standout session here, not even a single morning where it looks like it might clean up. The first few days are a total no-go, and the pattern just keeps repeating.

The only spot we've got to look at is Anse Bougainville, a reef break. The swell direction is mostly SSE to SE, which is not ideal for this spot; it wants a clean SE swell. The water temp is about average for this time of year.

We start off with a bit of swell on Friday, July 10th, with waves around 6 ft to 6 ft from the SSE, but the wind is on it or cross-on, making it a rough, poor surf situation. The combined energy is moderate (709 to 873), but it's wasted. Saturday and Sunday the 11th and 12th are the same story – wind holding steady, swell dropping slightly to 4 ft to 5 ft, but still onshore. The wave comment says "poor surf conditions" through the whole first week, and into the second. The wind ramps up to a fresh breeze (19 mph) by the middle of the week, making it even worse.

Towards the end of the run, around July 20th and 21st, the swell actually starts to build, hitting 7 ft, and the combined energy jumps into the strong category (over 1000), but it's still blowing 19 mph from the SSE. By July 24th and 25th, we're looking at 8 ft to 10 ft of swell, with very strong energy hitting 2427, but it's all cross-onshore and lumpy. That's a lot of water moving, but the wind's got it all messed up. For a reef break, that's a frustrating combo.

This is a blank run, folks. There's nothing to recommend. For this area, a spell like this isn't totally out of the ordinary when the wind sets in from the wrong direction. Keep your eyes on the forecast; it tends not to stay this poor forever.

Rusty.
