The Lowdown

Alright folks, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it. The 16-day outlook for Anse Bougainville is rough. This reef break, while consistent, is facing a storm of bad wind for almost the entire period.

From the 10th of August through to the 13th, it's all onshore junk. Moderate to fresh breezes from the southeast and south are just tearing up the surface. There's swell, sure, but it's no good for paddling.

Your one and only chance is Friday morning, the 14th of August. It's looking glassy with a slight SSE air, and a clean 4.6ft swell from the SSE with a decent 11-second period. The water's sitting at 80.9°, a touch warmer than normal. Get on it early, because the wind shifts in the afternoon. You'll probably have some company out there, as it can get busy.

From the 15th onward, it's a mess. The onshore wind just hammers us. Sure, there's some big combined energy kicking around – over 1400 on the 17th with 4.2ft swell – but with a fresh breeze onshore, this beach and reef setup is more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. This nasty onshore pattern doesn't let up until the end of the forecast on the 25th.

It's a long, dry stretch. Your only window is that Friday dawn patrol. Don't sleep on it.

Information about the Anse Bougainville Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Anse Bougainville provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Anse Bougainville can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Anse Bougainville surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Anse Bougainville) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Anse Bougainville may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
