The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I'm staring down the forecast for Anse Bougainville. I've gotta level with you, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim.
It’s a solid reef break, wide open to the south-east, but the wind is onshore every single day. We're talking 15 to 22 mph from the SE and SSE, a fresh breeze that's going to shred any chance of a clean wave. Every entry in the log is stamped "poor surf conditions," and I'm not about to tell you different.
The first chance, Monday the 17th of August, is a no-go. That SSE wind at 19 mph is right in our face. There's a long-period groundswell from the south at 4 ft with a 17-second period and moderate energy (1409), but that onshore breeze is going to make it a lumpy, choppy disaster.
We roll through the whole week, and it's the same tune. Solid swell pops up – like Friday the 21st with a 8 ft south-east swell and moderate energy (1239) – but it's completely blown out. That's too big for beginners and turns into a washing machine for everyone else. Even when the swell gets smaller, like 3 ft on the 24th, the wind is still howling onshore.
The second week shows some real grunt. On the 26th, we've got an 8 ft south-east swell with strong energy (1060), and on the 29th of August, a solid 8 ft south-south-east swell with strong energy (1747). But the onshore wind never lets up. These are expert-only sizes, and with the wind, it would be a brutal, dangerous mess.
One interesting note for the 27th: a 5 ft south swell with a long 16-second period and strong energy (1891) but paired with a 25 mph strong breeze. That's kite-surfing weather. This setup, with the constant onshore wind and decent swell height, looks way more fun for a kite than for a surfboard.
Honestly, there isn't a single standout session in this entire 16-day run for a surfer. The wind kills it all. The only thing keeping hope alive is that the swell keeps showing up, so if the wind ever turns offshore, this place could light up in a flash. But for now, stay on land.
Rusty.
