Anse Bertrand Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here with the outlook for the Anse Bertrand area. Let's be straight with you – this is a rough one. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty flat, with hardly any swell worth paddling for.

We kick things off from Thursday the 30th of July, and honestly, there's nothing on the menu. The first few days show zero wave energy and poor, lumpy conditions. We get a tiny pulse of 0.3ft from the North on the 3rd of August, but the wind is a messy cross-shore, making it a complete write-off. The energy is weak, barely registering at 2 to 4 (combined energy of all swells directed here). There's a slight improvement mid-week, with a bit of 1ft swell from the NE on the 4th and 5th, but the period is a short, weak 6 to 7 seconds, and the wind is still a fresh cross-off breeze. It's clean but there's just nothing to ride.

The only real pulse of the entire forecast happens on the 6th of August, Thursday morning. We see a 5ft swell from the ENE, with a combined energy of 144 (moderate wave energy). That’s the biggest we’ll see. But here's the killer – the period is a very short 6 seconds, and it's being hammered by a 30 km/h cross-shore wind. The swell energy is there, but with that short period and wind, it won't be a clean, surfing wave. It'll be lumpy and messy. This one is a real miss. For the rest of the week and into the second week, it's back to tiny 0.7ft to 2ft swells, mostly from the NNE, with the same constant cross-shore winds. The combined energy stays low, between 8 and 56. The break is exposed to the North, but the poor quality and tiny size mean it's a non-starter for a paddle.

This is a classic blank run for this area. When it's flat, it's flat. Don't hold your breath. The forecasts can change, but right now, there's nothing to get excited about. The setup looks more interesting for a kite than a surfboard, to be honest.

Rusty.
