The Lowdown

Right then, let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Anse Bougainville.

Honestly, mate, it’s a rough stretch ahead. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a write-off for decent waves. There’s surf on offer pretty much every day, but the conditions are just not playing ball. The wind is a constant problem, blowing straight onshore from the SSE or SE for almost every session, which is going to trash the surface. We’re looking at a long, long run of poor surf conditions with no real standouts to get excited about.

The water’s sitting at 81°, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year. No dramas there.

Let’s break it down. Starting from Tuesday the 25th of August, we’ve got a 7ft SE swell, but it’s short-period at 8 seconds and the wind is a solid 19 mph onshore. That’s a messy, blown-out combo. The combined energy is moderate at 793. It doesn’t get any better through Wednesday the 26th, with a drop to 3ft from the south, even if the period jumps to 14 seconds – that offshore wind just isn’t there to make it work.

The pattern stays the same. Thursday the 27th brings back 5ft SE swell but again, onshore wind. By Friday the 28th, we see a long-period S swell at 19 seconds, but it’s only 3ft to 3ft and the wind is still onshore. The energy jumps to 1051 on Friday afternoon, so there’s some power there, but it’s wasted.

The weekend of the 29th and 30th of August gets a bit bigger, with a S/SSW swell around 4ft to 5ft, but the wind cranks up to 22 mph onshore. The energy is strong, hitting 2068 and 2118, but with that wind, it’s just going to be a bumpy, choppy mess. Not worth paddling out for a surf.

Things actually get bigger as we head into the first week of September. The 31st of August sees 8ft and then 10ft on the cards, but with the same 22 mph onshore wind. By the 1st and 2nd of September, we’re looking at 8ft swells with combined energy over 1600, but again, the wind is a fresh breeze from the SE, right onshore. At these sizes, it’s going to be a washing machine. This is expert-only territory, if you’re brave enough, but honestly, with the wind, it looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

This grim pattern of 8ft to 10ft swell and onshore wind carries on right through to the 4th and 5th of September. The end of the forecast, around the 8th and 9th of September, shows a drop in swell size but the wind stays onshore, and the last record on the 9th shows a 7ft SSW swell with a long 15-second period and strong energy of 2430, but the wind is still onshore from the ESE.

So, the honest truth? There is no standout session. Not a single one. If you’re desperate, the very end of the period on the 9th of September has the most potential for power, but the wind is going to spoil it. The whole 16 days is a write-off thanks to that persistent onshore wind. Save your energy and wait for a change in the weather pattern.
