Anse Bertrand Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Gonna be straight with you – the next couple of weeks look pretty grim for Anse Bertrand. We’ve got a long stretch of flat, messy conditions ahead, so don’t go getting your hopes up.

Right now, into Friday the 7th, we’ve got a tiny 1ft swell from the NE. It’s weak, with a combined energy of just 23, and the wind is blowing cross-shore at 16 mph. It’s a write-off. That same story pretty much holds all weekend and into next week. The swell stays tiny, never getting above 2ft, and the wind is a constant issue – either cross-shore or a fresh breeze that’s going to keep the surface lumpy. The water temp is sitting at 84°, which is about normal for the time of year, but that’s not much comfort when there’s nothing to ride.

We do get a brief window of cleaner conditions on the morning of Monday the 10th, with a slight cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is still a pathetic 2ft from the NE with a period of just 8 seconds. It’s technically clean, but there’s no power. The combined energy is only 35. It’s barely a ripple.

The rest of the first week and into the second is the same story: minimal swell, mostly cross-shore winds, and energy readings that rarely climb out of the teens or twenties. The only thing that changes is the wind gets stronger. By Friday the 14th, we’re looking at a strong breeze of 25 mph making it ugly. The swell period does bump up to a very long 12 seconds on the 14th, but with a height of only 1.0ft, that long period doesn’t mean a thing. There’s no wave to use it.

Honestly, the whole 16-day run is a bust. The best you’ll get is a few clean-looking mornings with tiny, weak waves. For a spot that’s already inconsistent, this is a total blank run. Don’t bother packing the board. It’s more of a kitesurfing setup out there with the wind, but even then, the swell is too small. The forecasts can always change, but right now, this looks like a rare, total dead spell for the area.

Rusty.
