The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got for this stretch. Honestly, it's a pretty grim picture for us. The whole 16-day window is one big gap of poor conditions. There are simply no good surf options on offer from now through to the 3rd of September. The breaks are rated as consistent around here, so normally I'd say hang tight, forecasts can flip, but this run looks stubborn. For an area that can fire, this is an unusually long blank spell.
Taking a look at the only spot on the list, Anse Bougainville (reef). The water temp is sitting at 80.2°, which is just 1.6° above the norm, so pretty average for this time of year. But that’s about the only average thing here. We’ve got a relentless onshore wind hammering this exposed SE break day after day, wind speeds hanging around 15 to 28 mph. The swell is there, but it’s junk. The combined energy is moderate for the most part, hitting values like 588, 543, and climbing to 951 by Friday the 21st, but it doesn’t matter with that wind. The swell period is short, mostly 8 to 9 seconds, which is weak, local windswell. By the 28th of August, things get a little wild – a long-period 22-second groundswell from the south gives a massive energy reading of 1998, but it’s also a strong cross-onshore mess. Then on the 29th of August, the energy blows up to 5217, but it’s with 28 mph winds and thunderstorms likely. The swell is pushing 7.2 ft and 8.2 ft by the end of the month, but for experts only at those sizes, and the wind ruins it entirely. Some of those later days, with over 8.2 ft and that strong breeze, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than anything with a paddle.
There are zero standouts here. Save your petrol and wax for another time.
