The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's be straight with you – this outlook for Anse Bougainville is a tough one. The entire 16-day window is a write-off for decent surf. There isn't a single day where the conditions come together. The onshore wind is relentless, blowing straight from the southeast, and it never lets up. That means every single session is blown out. The water's sitting at 80°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
From Monday the 31st of August right through to Tuesday the 15th of September, it's the same story. The swell is there, don't get me wrong – we're looking at a solid 10ft, 10-second SSE swell on the Monday, with a combined energy of 3290, which is strong. But that onshore wind is just trashing it. The wave comment says "poor surf conditions" every time, and that's the truth. That strong swell energy (3290) is just being destroyed by the wind.
The swell hangs around, but it's all onshore wind. Tuesday the 1st of September is still 10ft of SSE swell with 19 mph winds. Wednesday the 2nd drops to 8ft, but the wind is still on it. The swell energy drops to moderate by the 5th and 6th (938 and 579), but it doesn't matter – the wind is still ruining it. There's a point on the 9th of September where the period jumps to 17 seconds, but the swell is only 2ft and the wind is still onshore, so it's a tease.
This is a reef break that's exposed to the swell, and it's consistent, but with this wind direction, it's just not worth paddling out. For a setup like this, with significant swell, poor surf quality, and strong onshore wind, it's honestly more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Save your energy. The forecasts can change, but right now, there's nothing to get excited about.
Rusty.
