Anse Bertrand Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s switch over to feet and miles per hour for the imperial crew.

Right now, the surf scene is looking pretty flat. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing from today, July 29th, all the way through to August 4th. The only break on the radar is Anse Bertrand. It’s an exposed beginner spot, but it’s been inconsistent forever, and this 16-day window is a prime example of that.

For the first week, we’re just staring at clean but choppy, wind-affected flat spells. The water’s sitting at a warm 84°°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing weird going on there. But the waves? Non-existent. The wind is mostly a fresh cross or cross-off breeze from the east at around 19 mph, keeping the surface clean but offering absolutely no swell. The wave energy is a big fat zero (0).

We start seeing a tiny bit of life on Monday, August 3rd, with a whisper of a north-northwest swell at 0.3 ft and an 11-second period, but the energy is barely there (2). It’s still cross-shore chop, and the rating is zero. Not worth paddling out for.

Things get a little more interesting from Wednesday, August 5th. An east swell shows up at 3 ft, but with a shockingly short period of 4 seconds—that’s just wind slop. The energy climbs a bit (42), but it’s still a "poor" call. On Thursday, August 6th, we see a peak with 5 ft from the east at 6 seconds, and the energy jumps to 187—moderate now—but the wind is a fresh cross-shore at 19 mph, which is going to make it a bumpy, lumpy mess. For a beginner spot, that’s no fun.

The real standout, and I mean the *only* standout across the whole 16 days, is Thursday, August 6th morning. That’s where we get the biggest push of swell—5 ft from the east—and moderate energy (187). But here’s the kicker: the wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-shore, so it’s going to be lumpy and messy. For an exposed beginner break like Anse Bertrand, that’s not ideal. If you’re an expert and you’re desperate, you might find a few choppy walls, but it’s not pretty. The rest of the period after that fades back into small, weak, and inconsistent surf with cross-shore winds ruining any chance of shape.

So, bottom line: we’ve got a long flat spell, one brief window of moderate swell on August 6th, and then it’s back to small and chopped. Not the best run for Anse Bertrand. Keep an eye on the longer range, but this is looking like a quiet stretch.
