The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. We’ve got a 16-day window for Anse Bougainville, and I’ll be honest with you, it’s a tough one. The data shows a real rough patch ahead, with no solid green lights for a good session across the whole period. The only break on the radar is this reef setup, which is normally an intermediate spot, but the conditions are just not cooperating.

Let’s start with the overall picture. Right from the get-go, we’re dealing with onshore winds and messy energy. The water is sitting at 81°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s a nice thing for your skin, but the waves are a different story.

Saturday, July 25th kicks off with a cross-onshore wind from the SSE at 19 mph, making the surf lumpy. We’ve got a 6 ft SE swell with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined energy here is moderate (587), but the wind is ruining it. The afternoon is even worse with onshore winds.

Sunday, July 26th stays poor. Morning and afternoon both have cross-onshore winds from the S and SSE at 12 mph, with a smaller 3 ft ESE swell. The energy drops (329) and the waves are choppy. Not worth a paddle.

Monday, July 27th through to Thursday, July 31st is a solid block of bad news. Onshore winds are relentless, mostly from the SE at 16-22 mph. Swell heights bounce between 5 ft and 7 ft, but the period is short (6-9 seconds), and the energy is moderate (380 to 991). Every single session is described as “poor surf conditions.” This is a week of washing machines.

Saturday, August 1st and Sunday, August 2nd offer no relief. The swell is still onshore, the wind is still wrong, and the energy is still moderate. The only highlight is that the period stretches to 10 seconds on the 1st, but it’s not enough to save it.

Monday, August 3rd to Wednesday, August 5th is more of the same: onshore winds from the SE at 16-22 mph, with swell heights from 5 ft to 7 ft. The energy is climbing (689 to 843), but the wind is still on it, so it’s a no-go.

Now, Thursday, August 6th is where things get a bit more serious, but not in a good way. We see a 8 ft SE swell with a 9-10 second period, and the energy jumps to over 1000 (1055 to 1079). That’s strong wave energy, but the wind is onshore at 19-25 mph, and there’s rain showers. This is a powerful, messy, and dangerous setup. Only for the brave, or maybe the kite surfers.

Friday, August 7th and Saturday, August 8th are the biggest of the run. Swell hits 8 ft to 10 ft from the SE, with periods of 9-10 seconds. The energy is very strong (1353 to 1498). The wind is still onshore and strong at 22-25 mph. This is expert-only territory, and even then, the wind is going to make it a battle. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

Sunday, August 9th winds down with a 8 ft to 6 ft SSE swell, still onshore, and the energy dropping back to 999. The whole period is a bust for clean waves.

Look, if you’re after a good surf, this isn’t the window. The consistent onshore winds just kill any chance of quality. For a reef break that should be peeling nicely with the right SE swell, it’s a crying shame. We’re looking at a 16-day gap with no real standouts. The spot is consistent, but the conditions are not. It won’t stay this bad forever, but for now, I’d save your energy.

Rusty.
