The Lowdown
Rusty here.
Let’s call it like it is – the next couple of weeks at Anse Bougainville are a tough go. A constant onshore SE wind is gonna blow out just about every session.
Starting Friday the 11th through Sunday the 13th: we’ve got swell from 4 ft to 8 ft with periods of 10 to 12 seconds, so there’s some groundswell energy. The combined swell energy is strong (603 to 1941). But the SE wind’s blowing 15 to 16 mph, right onshore. It’s all chop and no shape. No good.
Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th: swell drops a bit, periods shorten to 8 to 9 seconds, and that onshore wind keeps hammering. Smaller, weaker, messier.
Wednesday the 16th brings a bigger pulse – 8 ft Wednesday morning, but with a short 8-second period and onshore ESE wind at 22 mph. Combined energy pushes 938. That’s not surf, that’s a washing machine.
The pattern holds through the rest of the week and into the next. From Thursday 17th to Sunday 21st, swell runs between 4 ft and 7 ft, all with the same onshore wind.
Now, a flicker on Wednesday the 23rd and Thursday the 24th: we see a long-period groundswell – 4 ft at 20 seconds Wednesday morning, then 3 ft at 17 seconds Thursday. Combined energy hits 1516 and 833. That’s proper groundswell. But the wind is still onshore from the SE at 15 to 19 mph. For a reef break, that long swell would mean clean lines, but the wind will shred it.
Friday the 25th into Saturday the 26th, swell fades to 3 ft with 13 to 15-second periods. Onshore wind sticks around.
No real standout here. The long-period swell on the 23rd and 24th is the only thing that might turn on if the wind eases, but that’s a long shot. For now, the surf’s not cooperating.
