The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this forecast for Anse Bougainville is a tough one to get excited about. Through the whole 16-day window, the onshore wind just doesn’t let up, leaving the surf consistently looking poor. There isn’t a single standout session where I’d tell you to grab your board and go.
Starting from now, Tuesday the 1st of September, it’s messy. We’ve got a solid 10ft swell from the SSE, but that’s getting hammered by a strong SE onshore breeze at 22 mph. The water temp is 80°, which is pretty normal for this time of year. The wave energy is strong at 1993, but it’s a wind-blown mess. It’s so rough and onshore that this beach-reef setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. This continues right through the week – Wednesday the 2nd has 8ft of SE swell, still with that onshore wind at 19 mph, energy at 1406, but still poor surf.
The pattern doesn’t shift much. Thursday through Sunday (3rd to 6th of September) stay onshore from the SE or SSE, with swell heights dropping from 8ft down to 5ft, but the wind is relentless, and the wave comment is consistently “poor surf conditions.” The energy drops from 1318 to 567 as we go, but the quality never improves.
The second week offers more of the same. Monday the 7th to Wednesday the 9th sees swell between 5ft and 7ft, but it’s still blown out by moderate to fresh breezes straight onshore. Even when a long-period SSW swell pops up on Thursday the 10th of September – 7ft at 15 seconds, with energy shooting up to 3565 – the wind is still a strong 22 mph from the SE. That’s a heavy, powerful groundswell completely trashed by onshore conditions. You’d see plenty of energy in the water, but it’d be wind-chopped and ugly.
From the 11th of September right through to the 16th, it’s much the same story. Swell sticks around at 6ft to 7ft, but the wind never turns favourable – always onshore from the SE or SSE, 16-22 mph. The last day, Wednesday the 16th, has a 4ft SSW swell with a period of 9 seconds, building to 5ft at 12 seconds in the arvo, but again, onshore wind kills it.
There’s no good surf on offer here in this entire 16-day window. The wind and swell direction never line up to give that reef a clean face. If you’re itching for a paddle, wait for a forecast change – it’s not worth fighting this constant onshore chop right now.
Rusty.
