Alright, mates, Rusty here again. Let’s talk feet and miles for the same grim outlook at Anse Bougainville. The water’s a balmy 26°, which is dead average for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a steamer.

Right from the start on Sunday, July 5th, it’s a write-off. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the SSE, but it’s getting thrashed by a 19 mph onshore wind. The combined swell energy is a moderate 426, but it’s all for nothing. The swell bumps to 6ft in the afternoon, but the wind is still onshore at 16 mph. It’s just poor, messy surf.

Monday, July 6th, is even uglier. The swell hits 8ft in the morning from the SE, with a short 8-second period. The wind is howling at 25 mph onshore. The energy jumps to 855, but it’s just a churning mess. That’s too big for beginners, and with that wind, it’s a battle. The afternoon stays big at 8ft with the same 25 mph wind – 1084 energy, but it’s a total loss.

Tuesday, July 7th, the wind shifts to cross-on, but it’s still 22-25 mph. A 7ft swell with lumpy, cross-onshore conditions is not worth your time. Wednesday, July 8th, is the same story: 7ft-7ft, cross-on, fresh breezes. Energy between 795 and 990, but it’s all poor.

Thursday, July 9th, offers a tiny bit of hope. The wind drops to 9 mph in the morning, still onshore, but the swell is a solid 7ft from the S with a 9-second period (energy 1006). The report calls it “marginal,” which is the best we get. If you’re really jonesing, you might find a few lumpy ones, but it’s a long paddle. The afternoon wind picks back up to 13 mph, killing it.

The rest of the first week and into the second is a carbon copy. Friday 10th through Sunday 12th: onshore winds, 4ft to 6ft swell, moderate breezes. Energy dips to 549-803, but it’s all poor conditions. No standout days.

Looking at the second week, Monday 13th July starts with a 7ft swell from the SE and a 10-second period, but the wind is 16 mph onshore. The energy is a strong 1246, but that wind will ruin it. Tuesday 14th through Saturday 18th keeps the same pattern: 5ft to 8ft swells, onshore or cross-on winds at 16-22 mph, energy from 509 to 1050. It’s all a “stay home” situation.

The last day, Monday 20th July, teases us. We get a 8ft swell from the SE with a longer 11-second period – that’s a proper groundswell. The energy is 1133 in the morning. But the wind is still onshore at 19 mph. The afternoon drops to 16 mph but turns cross-on, making it choppy. It’s a cruel joke.

So, there you have it. Nothing but onshore wind and poor surf for the entire 16 days. The reef is consistent, but when the trades lock in like this, you just have to wait it out. I wouldn’t paddle out for any of this. Keep an eye on the forecast, but for now, find something else to do.

Rusty.

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.
