The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's get real about the surf for Anse Bougainville over the next 16 days.
To be straight with you, the outlook here is a tough one for paddle surfing. The dominant wind is from the SE and SSE, blowing directly onshore for the entire 16-day window. That means the surface is going to be chopped up, messy, and blown out. There’s almost no chance of a clean, glassy session.
The water temperature is sitting at 80°F which is about average for this time of year.
The first recommendation period starts on July 15th. The swell is there, but it's all about the wind. From Wednesday the 15th through the weekend, we’re looking at 4 to 8 ft of SE swell (moderate combined energy, 306 to 803). The period is short, 8 to 9 seconds, so it’s a weak, wind-affected sea. The “poor surf conditions” tag applies to every single session. It’s just not worth paddling out.
A few days drop down to slightly smaller, like 3 to 4 ft, but the wind is still on it. The setup is a reef break, but with that constant onshore wind, it’s going to be a washing machine. For a beginner, the swell size is mostly manageable, but the conditions are just ugly.
Into the second week, the swell actually picks up. By July 25th and 26th, we’re seeing 8 to 8 ft of SSE swell (strong to very strong energy, up to 1075). That’s expert territory, and the period is still short at 8 seconds. The wind is still hammering onshore at 19 mph. It’s a lot of water moving, but it’s going to be a full-on, wind-whipped mess. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The long-range forecast around July 29th shows a brief spike of 2 ft swell from the S with a very long 21-second period (1015 energy). That’s a groundswell, but it’s a tiny wave and the wind is still onshore. It’s a classic tease.
Overall, this is a blank run of 16 days. The swell is consistent, but the wind is relentless, and it’s all onshore. Don’t plan a trip around Anse Bougainville right now. The forecast can always change, but as it stands, there’s nothing to recommend.
