Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Anse Bougainville over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I’ve got to be honest with you – this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for decent surf. I can’t find a single session worth paddling out for. The first record kicks off on Sunday the 12th of July, but it’s all downhill from there. We’re looking at a solid two-week stretch of poor surf conditions with no real let-up.
The main issue is the wind. It’s relentless. Almost every day is blown out by onshore or cross-onshore winds, mostly from the SSE or SE, cranking at 15 to 22 mph. That’s gonna chop everything up and make it ugly. The swell is mostly in the 4 to 8 ft range, but it doesn’t matter how much water is moving when the wind is shredding it. The swell direction is coming from the SSE and SE, which is not the optimum SE direction this spot wants to see for clean lines.
The combined wave energy is moderate for most of the run, but it spikes into strong territory on the 12th and again on the 21st of July. Even then, it’s still blown out. On the 22nd of July, we see a brief pulse of longer-period swell – 13 seconds from the SSW – but it’s only 3 ft and the wind is still on it, so it’s a no-go. For the rest of the period, the period is short, generally 8 to 9 seconds, so it’s just windswell junk.
Water temp is sitting at 80°F, which is about average for the time of year.
This is a reef break set up for intermediate surfers, and it’s consistent, but with this much onshore wind and chop, the setup actually looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. For us, there’s just nothing to get excited about. It’s a blank run, plain and simple. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, leave the boards at home.
Rusty.

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.
