The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here, and I gotta level with you – this forecast for Anse Bougainville is a total bummer. We’re talking a full 16-day run, and I can’t find one single session that’s worth getting wet for. It’s a write-off from start to finish.
From Sunday, August 23rd, all the way through Monday, September 7th, every single time slot is marked as poor surf conditions. That’s a long, empty stretch.
The problem is the wind. We’ve got a persistent onshore breeze, mostly a fresh wind blowing 18 to 22 mph out of the southeast, straight onshore. It’s just messing up any chance of a clean wave. Even when the swell size bumps up, like on August 25th with 7ft of SE swell, that wind is wrecking it. The wave energy gets seriously strong later – check August 29th with combined energy at 2163 – but it’s paired with a strong breeze. That’s a mess, not a surf.
There are a few days with a long-period SSE swell around September 1st, with waves up to 10ft and an 11-second period, and energy reading 2089. But with 18 mph onshore wind again, it’s just not happening. That’s expert territory for size, but with poor conditions, it’s more of a survival drill.
Water temp is about 81°, which is a degree warmer than usual – feels nice, but the surf won’t let you enjoy it.
Honestly, with a beach break getting hammered by strong onshore winds and consistent swell, this whole 16-day window looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The forecast could change, but right now, we’ve got nothing.
Rusty.
