About Anse Bourgainville
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces E (87°), so it takes swell from the E. The wind blows offshore from the W (267°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up, because of a steep sea floor. It works in 3–10 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very steeply: 10 m deep about 100 m out (1 in 8). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 26°C in July, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 30°C in March, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Anse Royale, 2.5 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 3 surf spots, 2 wind sports spots and 1 kayak spot.
Water about 29°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
