The Lowdown
Alright, let's check the story for Anse Bougainville. It’s a reef break that works for an intermediate surfer and is usually consistent. But looking over this 16-day stretch, it’s a rough one. The onshore wind is a constant problem, blowing straight into the swell from the southeast for nearly the whole run. That’s going to tear up any chance of clean waves, leaving everything choppy and messy. The water’s sitting at about 82°F, which is roughly 2°F warmer than usual for this time of year, so the water temp is nice, but that’s about the only good news.
Let’s go through the days. Right from the start, Wednesday the 9th, we’ve got a 3ft south swell with a long 16-second period, but with that 15 mph onshore wind, it’s a no-go. That pattern is stuck for the whole first week. The swell gets a bit bigger on Thursday the 10th, hitting about 5ft from the south, but the wind is still onshore at 15 mph from the ESE. Friday the 11th pushes up to 7ft from the SSE – that’s getting solid – but you guessed it, onshore wind and the forecast says poor. The combined energy on Friday morning is strong at 1641, but it’s useless.
Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th drop off a little in size but there’s no let-up in the wind. Monday the 14th, Tuesday the 15th, it’s the same story. On Tuesday the 15th, we see the biggest swell of the period, 8ft from the SSE, but the wind is a nasty 25 mph onshore. That’s not surfable, that’s a mess.
There’s a tiny faint hope later on. On Friday the 18th of September, the morning shows a 3ft south swell with a 16-second period, and the energy is moderate at 1035. But the wind is still onshore. The afternoon of the 18th sees 6ft from the SSE, but it’s only called marginal. And then it’s straight back to the same onshore drudge.
To be straight with you, across this whole 16-day window, there isn’t one session I’d recommend at Anse Bougainville. The wind is just relentless and from the absolute worst direction, spoiling every bit of swell that rolls in. There’s no standout day here. For a break that’s normally consistent, this is a grim stretch.
