Righto, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for this spot.
Alright, I’ll be straight with you – this 16-day window is a tough one for Anse Bougainville. The surf is there, but the conditions are just not cooperating. We’ve got a decent amount of swell energy moving through the whole period, but the wind is almost constantly onshore or cross-onshore, which is going to ruin the surface. It’s a real shame, because the swell size is actually quite surfable.
The only real chance to get wet is on Friday afternoon, July 10th. We’ll see a 6ft swell from the SSE, with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate at 901. The water temp is sitting at 79°, which is about average for this time of year. The wind is onshore from the SSE, but it's a gentle breeze, so the surface won't be completely blown out – it’s a marginal call, but it’s the best we’ve got. The break is a consistent reef, so it’ll hold the swell, but it’s an intermediate wave, and with that onshore wind it won’t be pretty.
After that, it’s a long, grim run. From Saturday, July 11th, right through to the end of the period on July 25th, the forecast is a constant stream of "poor surf conditions". The swell hangs around, mostly in the 4ft to 8ft range, and the energy picks up on the 23rd and 24th, hitting strong levels (1017 and 1009), but the wind is stuck onshore from the SSE or SE, blowing at 15 to 19 mph. The swell period is mostly short, between 8 and 10 seconds, so it’s going to be a choppy, messy mess. A couple of those days in the second week have swell over 7ft, but with that onshore wind, it’s just a washing machine – definitely not for beginners, and honestly, not much fun for anyone on a paddle board. It’s the kind of setup that would be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
To be honest, this is a blank run of nearly two weeks with no solid recommendations. For this area, that’s not unusual when the trade winds are locked in. It tends not to stay this poor forever, but right now, forecasts are what they are. If you were desperate, that Friday afternoon is your only window, but don’t expect any gems.
