Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a hard look at Anse Bougainville for the next couple of weeks. Straight up: don’t get your hopes up. This reef break is consistent, sure, but the conditions are just not playing ball. The water’s sitting at 79.7°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing that’s average.
From Tuesday 7 July right through to Wednesday 22 July, we’ve got a long run of poor surf. The wind is relentless – mostly from the SSE or SE, blowing onshore or cross-onshore at 12 to 22 mph. That’s going to chop everything up, especially with swell coming from the same direction. Swell heights bounce between 3.6 ft and 8.2 ft, with period mostly 8 to 10 seconds – short-period, wind-driven junk. The combined energy sits in the moderate bracket (values between 444 and 752 in the early part, then jumps to 1294–1372 on 22 July, but still with onshore wind). No clean faces, no proper shape.
There is one tiny glimmer – Saturday 11 July afternoon. The wind drops to 9 mph from the SE, still onshore though, and the swell is 4.3 ft from SSE at 10 seconds. The report calls it “marginal,” and I’d agree – it’s not something to drive for. You might find a few lumpy ones, but don’t expect anything memorable.
Even when the swell pushes 8.2 ft on Wednesday 22 July, the wind is still howling onshore at 22 mph. That’s more of a washing machine than a wave. For beginners, anything over 5 ft gets tricky, and over 8.2 ft is expert only – but with that wind it’s messy for everyone. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
So bottom line: there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. That’s unusual for a break that’s normally consistent, but it happens. Forecasts can change – keep an eye on it, but for now, leave the boards at home.
