The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Anse Bougainville and, well, it’s a tough one to call. The whole 16-day window is a real mixed bag, and honestly, it’s not looking like a classic run at all.

We start off on Tuesday, July 21st, with some swell in the water, but it’s a mess. The wind is howling onshore from the southeast at 16 mph, and the wave comment is just "poor surf conditions." The swell is around 5 ft to 6 ft, but it’s got a short, weak period of only 7 seconds, so the energy is weak (368). The water is a warm 81°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but you won’t care about that when you’re getting blown off your board.

That pattern holds through Wednesday and Thursday, July 22nd and 23rd. The wind is still onshore and fresh, the swell is short-period, and the energy is moderate (hitting up to 686). It’s all just a jumbled-up, choppy mess. Friday, July 24th, looks similar, with more onshore wind and "poor surf conditions."

We get a slight shift on Saturday, July 25th. The swell period jumps to 12 seconds, which is a nice groundswell, and the height drops to 4 ft. But the wind is a fresh cross-onshore, making it lumpy. The energy is moderate (748), but it’s just not clean. That’s the story for the rest of the first week and into the second – the wind is always either onshore or cross-onshore, and the wave comment is never positive.

There’s a bit of a build in size from July 28th onwards, with swell heights pushing 8 ft, and the energy climbs into the four-digit range, like 899 and 1109, which is strong. But the wind is still onshore, and the conditions are described as "poor" or "lumpy." It’s just not going to be a fun paddle out. By the end of the first week of August, on the 2nd, we see the biggest swell of the window at 8 ft, with very strong energy (1422), but again, that wind is a problem.

There are no true standouts in this entire forecast. The wind is the enemy here, and the swell direction never matches the optimum for the reef. The conditions are poor all the way through. It’s a big gap of bad surf.

Honestly, for a solid 16 days, this is a frustrating outlook. The reef is exposed, but it’s getting hammered by the wind. If you’re desperate, maybe look for a sheltered spot, but this isn’t the time for Anse Bougainville.

Rusty.
