The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. For the next 16 days, there's just nothing doing for a proper surf at Anse Bertrand. The whole window is a write-off, really. We're looking at a long, dry spell with no real swell of any quality to get excited about. It's one of those stretches where the ocean just doesn't want to play ball.
The first week is a total bust. From Saturday the 8th right through the whole of the following week, we're staring at tiny, weak swell. You're looking at waves mostly around 1ft or less, with combined energy readings barely getting into double digits (like 19 to 35). That's not surf, that's a lake. And to make it worse, the wind is almost always a fresh cross-shore breeze, just chopping up whatever tiny bump there is. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
The only flicker of light comes on Monday the 17th. We get a bit of a pulse, with swell height pushing up to 3ft from the NNE and the energy jumping to 192. That's moderate, at least. But the issue is the wind is cross-onshore, making it fairly choppy. The next day, Tuesday the 18th, the wind swings offshore and it cleans up, but the swell drops straight back to 1ft. It's a frustrating tease. There's a tiny window Monday afternoon with a light breeze and clean conditions, and a 3ft swell, but it's still from a cross-onshore direction and the score is so low it's not worth a paddle.
After that, it's back to the same old story: tiny swell, fresh winds, and nothing to write home about right through to Sunday the 23rd. The setup here is a beach break, and with this kind of small, weak swell and persistent wind, it honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The waves just aren't going to form.
The good news is, Anse Bertrand is described as "inconsistent," so a blank run like this isn't totally out of the ordinary. Forecasts change, and it won't be poor forever, but for this 16-day window, you're better off keeping the board in the car.
Rusty.

Information about the Anse Bertrand Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Anse Bertrand provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Anse Bertrand can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Anse Bertrand surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period.

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.
