The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
Honestly, Anse Bougainville is a total dud for the next 16 days. From now right through to Friday, September 25th, there ain’t a single session worth paddling out for. The swell shows up – you’ll see chest to head-high waves, sometimes a touch bigger, coming from the south and southeast – but the wind is onshore every single day, blowing 15 to 22 mph. That kills any chance of a clean wave at this reef break.
The combined swell energy runs from moderate numbers around 445 to strong readings over 1600 (1678 on the morning of the 10th), so there’s plenty of power, even a 15-second groundswell early on. But with that wind ruining the surface, it’s just messy. Water temp is about 82°, a touch warmer than usual for the season, but that’s the only nice thing.
No standouts here. Not a single morning or afternoon gets the nod. The entire 16-day window is a wash for surfing. If you kite, the steady onshore wind and solid swell energy might look interesting – this beach-reef setup could be more your game. For paddle surfing, hang loose and wait for a better week. Forecasts can shift, but right now, there’s nothing calling.
Rusty.
