The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s check out what’s in store for Anse Bougainville.
Straight up, this 16-day window is a tough one. There are zero good windows for a paddle. The wind is hammering onshore from the SE the whole time, and while there’s a decent amount of swell running, the quality just isn’t there. You’re looking at a solid two-week-plus run of poor surf conditions, starting now and running all the way through to the 27th of September. That is a long, blank run with no recommendations to speak of.
The swell energy is moderate to strong, with combined energy values mostly in the 500 to 1400 range, so there’s plenty of water moving. The problem is that onshore wind. It’s a moderate to fresh breeze, blowing 15 to 25 mph right into the face of every wave. For a reef break like Anse Bougainville, that’s a real shame – it usually needs clean conditions to shine. Water temp is about average for this time of year, so no drama there.
There are no standouts in this forecast. The swell direction is mostly S to SE, which is the optimum direction for the break, so the reef is seeing the swell it wants to see. But with the wind locked in onshore, it’s a non-starter for surfers. For any kite crew out there, this setup looks a lot more fun than it does for a paddle surfer. With that much wind and that much swell, the bay could be a playground for kites.
If you’re holding out, you’ll need to wait for a change in the weather pattern. For now, it’s a solid skip.
Rusty, signing off.
