Anse Bertrand Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here again. Let me break it down in feet and miles for you. Looking at the charts for your area, it’s a real tough go. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing to talk about.

Right now, we’re staring down a major dry spell. For the first ten days, from the 25th of July through the 3rd of August, there’s basically no surf worth paddling for. The combined energy is a flat zero (0) for most of that, and the tiny blips of swell we see just aren’t enough. The wind is mostly a moderate to fresh cross-shore breeze, just messing up what little texture there is. It’s a real bummer, but it happens.

The first real chance of a wave doesn’t show up until the 5th of August. Wednesday morning might see a little pulse of weak, short-period swell from the NE, coming in around 2ft. The wind turns a bit more offshore – cross-off from the ESE – which is a positive. The water temp is sitting around 83°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so that’s one thing we don’t have to complain about. But honestly, the energy is still weak (24), and it’s inconsistent. You’d be scratching for a ride.

The 6th of August, Thursday afternoon, sees a bit more energy in the water (71), with a 3ft NE swell, but the period is a short 7 seconds. That’s a windswell, bumpy and weak. The wind is cross-shore, making it messy. It’s not a standout.

After that, the 7th, 8th, and 9th of August stay pretty poor. The swell hangs around 1ft to 2ft, mostly from the NNE, with a mix of cross and cross-off winds. The energy never gets past a moderate 70. It’s all just “poor surf conditions” on the charts. This is a classic case of the area going quiet.

The only real mentionable option across the whole 16 days is Anse Bertrand (Guadeloupe). It’s an exposed, inconsistent beginner spot. Because it’s been so flat, and the few pulses we see are tiny, there’s no standout window. The best-looking session is arguably the morning of the 5th of August, with that 2ft NE swell and cleaner conditions. But don’t drive out of your way for it. It’s a marginal day.

Honestly, this is a stretch where you’d be better off doing something else. The break is too inconsistent for this to be a surprise – a blank run like this is pretty normal for the area. Forecasts can change, but right now, the ocean is giving us a rest.
