The Lowdown
Alright, let's break it down for those who think in feet. Water temp is a balmy 82°, which is a touch warmer than normal.
Honestly, this whole 16-day stretch is a dud for surf. The swell is there, but the wind is a nightmare. From Tuesday, August 4th, right through to Saturday the 9th, it's hammering onshore from the southeast. We're talking 15 to 25 mph winds, tearing apart what could be decent waves. The combined energy is all over the place—from middling numbers up to a serious 1542 on the morning of the 6th, with a 10ft SE swell. But with that wind, it's just a mess of whitewater. You'd be better off with a kite.
The second week is no better. From Sunday the 10th through Wednesday the 19th, it's the same southeast wind, 12 to 22 mph, smashing the coast. The swell keeps coming, mostly 5ft to 7ft from the SSE and SE, but the wind won't quit.
There is one tiny window, on Monday, August 17th. The afternoon goes glassy—glassy—with a clean 7ft SE swell showing up. That's your best shot at a decent wave at Anse Bougainville, but it's still a long-shot. The rest? Just more onshore chop through Tuesday and Wednesday the 19th. For this spot, a blank run like this is pretty normal.
