The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer for Anse Bougainville.

To be straight with you, the next couple of weeks are a real mixed bag, and mostly a frustrating watch. The swell is around, but the wind just won’t play ball for a clean paddle session for most of it. We’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions, so you’ll need to be patient.

The water’s sitting at 81° right now, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least that feels nice.

The big standout, and really the only window worth jumping on, hits us on Friday the 14th. The morning starts off glassy with a slight air and the swell is a clean 5ft from the SSE with an 11-second period. This is proper groundswell energy, giving the waves shape and push, with a combined energy of 629 (moderate). The afternoon stays glassy with the same 5ft groundswell (598 energy). This is the one to aim for – clean, lined up, and just right for an intermediate.

The rest of the run is a write-off for a clean surf. From Monday the 10th right through to Thursday the 13th, we’ve got onshore and cross-onshore winds howling at 15-18 mph, making everything lumpy and choppy. The swell gets a bit bigger on the 12th and 13th, hitting 7ft, but with that cross-on wind and period around 10 seconds, it’s just messy.

After that brief Friday window, it's back to the same story. Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th see the wind swing back onshore, and by the 16th blowing 18 mph, making the 6ft swell a washing machine. The pattern continues through the whole second week – the swell keeps coming, sometimes pushing 8ft, but it’s always accompanied by strong onshore winds (15-22 mph). There’s a pulse of very long-period groundswell (18 seconds) on Monday the 17th, hitting 4ft but with a massive 1273 combined energy, but again the wind is onshore, so it’ll be blown out.

For the beginners, that Friday 5ft is perfect. Anything over 5ft later in the window is getting a bit punchy, and once we hit 8ft around the 24th and 25th, that’s expert territory only – though again, the wind will likely ruin it.

To be honest, with these consistent onshore winds and the break being reef and exposed, this setup over the next two weeks looks a lot more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The raw energy is there, but the wind just won’t cooperate for us.

For the second week, from the 17th onward, don't hold your breath. The pattern stays locked in with onshore winds and solid swell. It’s a long wait for that one glassy Friday.

Stay sharp and keep an eye on the morning of the 14th.
Rusty.
