The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for Anse Bougainville over the next 16 days is a real tough one to swallow. I’ve looked at the charts, and honestly, there’s not a single session that’s worth paddling out for. The whole period is marked as “poor surf conditions,” and the scores reflect that. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s pretty normal when the winds don’t play nice.
Monday the 7th kicks off with a risk of thunderstorms. We’ve got a 6 ft swell from the SE, but the wind is howling onshore at 16 mph and the swell energy is moderate (558). That’s a mess. Into the afternoon, it gets worse with 7 ft and a cross-onshore breeze at 19 mph. Forget it.
The rest of the first week stays grim. Tuesday the 8th is still onshore, Wednesday the 9th brings in a long-period 16-second swell from the south, but the wind is cross-onshore or onshore, making it choppy. The energy jumps up to moderate-strong (912-929), but it’s wasted.
Thursday the 10th through Saturday the 12th keeps the onshore wind, with swell heights between 5 ft and 7 ft. The swell energy on Thursday hits 1468-1535, which is strong, but with the wind blowing straight on, it’s just a lumpy, closed-out mess at this reef.
The second week looks even more intimidating for the average surfer, but the conditions are still poor. From Monday the 14th, the swell starts pumping up, with 8 ft to 10 ft on the cards by Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th. The swell energy becomes very strong, hitting 2626-2870 on the 17th. That’s a lot of water moving, but the wind is a relentless onshore 19-22 mph. This is heavy, blown-out, dangerous stuff. For a reef break, with that size and that wind, it’s more of a kite-surfing show than a paddle session. Keep your feet on the sand.
There’s nothing to recommend here. We get a bit of a lull towards the end, with the 21st and 22nd bringing smaller 6 ft to 4 ft swell, but the wind doesn’t let up. The water temp is about average for the time of year, but that’s the only silver lining.
Stay patient, the forecast can change, but right now, Anse Bougainville is a no-go.
Rusty.
