The Lowdown

Alright, listen up, crew. Rusty here with the long-range picture.

We’re looking at a rough stretch at Anse Bougainville, a reef break that picks up south-east swell. Big issue right out of the gate: the wind is gonna be a constant headache. Water temp is about 27°, which is normal for now, so you won’t be cold while you're getting blown around.

Friday, August 28th kicks it off. There's swell, about 3ft from the SSW with a real long 19-second period, giving us moderate energy. The problem is that ESE wind blowing 12 mph straight onshore. It's gonna be choppy and ugly. The report’s calling it "poor surf conditions," and that's the name of the game for the whole first weekend. The swell builds on Saturday to 5ft with energy jumping to 2046, but that onshore wind cranks up to 22 mph, making it a complete mess. By Sunday afternoon, the swell hits 7ft but the period drops to a weak 8 seconds, and that wind is still hammering us at 22 mph. Frankly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddling out.

That onshore wind keeps blowing, at 19 mph or more, all through the first week of September. The swell holds between 6ft and 10ft, so there’s plenty of water moving, but without clean conditions, it’s hard to get jazzed. The energy stays in the strong range, but it won’t matter if you can’t get a clean face.

We get a bit of a break around Monday, September 7th. The wind drops to a steady 12-16 mph from the SSE, still onshore, but we get a consistent 6ft SE swell with a 9-second period. The energy drops to 681, but the conditions are the most manageable we’ve seen. This is the closest we get to a surfable wave, if you don't mind the chop.

The very end of the run, around September 10th, looks a little different but it’s far off. The swell drops to 3ft on the 9th with a long 16-second SSW pulse. Then on Thursday the 10th, it’s a 4ft SE swell with a short 8-second period. The wind is finally just a moderate onshore breeze at 12 mph.

For my pick, the best chance in this 16-day window is that stretch around Monday, September 7th through Tuesday, September 8th. It's not a dream session, but the 6ft SE swell with the lighter 12 mph SSE wind is the cleanest we're gonna get. Being a reef, that longer-period SE swell won't just race down the line, which is a plus here. It’s a consistent break, and crowds are only listed as "sometimes," so you might not have to fight for waves.

To be honest, it’s a rough outlook. Onshore winds are the main story, and they don't look like letting up for a clean session until the very end. For the first week, save your energy.

Keep an eye on it, things can shift. Rusty out.
