The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get straight into it. Honestly, it's a tough run of it for the next couple of weeks. The whole 16-day window is pretty much a write-off for any kind of decent surf. We're looking at a long stretch of poor conditions with no real standout sessions to get excited about.
The only spot on the radar is Anse Bertrand, and it's classified as a beginner break that's inconsistent. Water temps are sitting at 85°F which is about average for this time of year, so that's a small win.
Kicking off from Thursday the 20th of August, it's a no-go. We've got a tiny 1.0ft swell from the north with a short 8-second period, and the energy is a weak 10. The wind is a fresh cross-shore at 19 mph, churning up a lumpy mess. This pattern just repeats day after day through to the end of the month. The swell is consistently small, between 0.7ft and 1.0ft, with the combined energy rarely breaking past 20. It's a lot of moderate to fresh cross-shore winds, making for chop and generally poor surf. There are a few morning windows on the 22nd, 23rd, and 25th of August where the wind cleans up to a cross-off, but the swell is still laughably small.
We do see a slight bump in the swell around the 27th and 28th of August, with it pushing up to 2ft from the northeast. The period also stretches out to 13 and 12 seconds, which brings a bit more shape. The combined energy gets up to a moderate 104 on the afternoon of the 27th. But the wind stays stubbornly cross-shore at 16-19 mph, so the surface is going to be a lumpy, cross-chop mess. It's just not worth paddling out for.
The first few days of September are more of the same. Tiny swell, 1.0ft to 1ft, with cross-shore winds. The afternoon of the 2nd of September shows a cleaner cross-off wind, but with a 1ft, 11-second swell, it's barely a ripple. The energy is a measly 39. Then on the 4th of September, we see a morning of fresh cross-shore winds and a 1.0ft, 12-second swell, but the energy is still weak at 46.
Look, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there's just nothing for a surfer to sink their teeth into. The swell is too small, the wind is onshore or cross-shore almost constantly, and the consistency is poor. Honestly, with the consistent wind and small, choppy conditions, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Hold tight, the forecasts can change, but for now, it's a blank run.
Rusty.

Information about the Anse Bertrand Surf forecast

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Anse Bertrand may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
