The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Alright, so for the next 16 days, we’re looking at a pretty quiet stretch. The swell is very small for the most part, and the wind is often a problem. There’s one break that pops up, but it’s not exactly a classic.
The only spot the data points to is Anse Bertrand (Guadeloupe) . It’s a beginner spot, and it’s exposed to the north, but it’s inconsistent. We’re going to start with a real dry spell. From now until around the 20th of August, the surf is basically non-existent. Swell heights are tiny, mostly 0.6 ft to 1 ft, with weak energy. The wind is a constant cross-shore, mostly from the east at 12 to 25 mph, which is messy. The water temperature is about average for this time of year.
Things get a little bit interesting on the afternoon of Thursday, the 20th of August. The wind swings cross-offshore from the ESE, and the combined energy of all swells directed here hits 105 (moderate wave energy). The swell jumps to 4 ft from the east, but the period is a short 6 seconds. That’s a short-period wind swell, so it’ll be a bit lumpy and won’t have the same punch as a longer period swell. The wind is clean, which is a positive, but it’s a one-off spike. The rest of the week is right back to tiny, poor conditions.
After that, the forecast is a total blank. From the 23rd of August through the 30th, there is no swell at all. Zero combined energy. It’s just flat. There’s a tiny 0.3 ft pulse on the 25th with a long 12-second period, but it’s basically nothing. This is a long stretch of quiet, and it’s pretty normal for this area to have these blank runs.
So, the only real standout, if you can call it that, is the afternoon of Thursday, 20th of August at Anse Bertrand. It’s the only bump in the entire 16 days. The 4 ft east swell with clean cross-offshore wind will be the best of a very poor bunch. Short period means it won’t be world-class, but it’s the only chance to get wet. It’s a beginner break, so it’s not one for the experts. For such a small, inconsistent spot, catching it on a day with any shape is notable.
Stay patient, folks. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
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. If you surf the same spot (Anse Bertrand) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
