Anse Bertrand Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get straight into it. I’m looking at the next sixteen days and, honestly, it’s a bit of a tough stretch for Anse Bertrand. The swell is pretty gutless for the most part, and the wind isn't doing us any favors. We’re going to have to be patient.

Right now, it’s flat out. There’s no real surf to speak of for the first stretch. We’re looking at tiny, weak waves with a lot of cross-shore breeze. The water temp is sitting at 84°F, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least the water will feel nice while you’re sitting there waiting for a wave.

The first few days are a write-off. The swell is only around 1ft with short, weak periods, and the wind is just messy. It’s not even worth bringing your board. The energy is super weak, with readings in the double digits. This is a classic case of a blank run.

It stays pretty grim through the middle of the week. The wind is fresher and the swell is dropping even more. There are a couple of mornings with a cross-offshore breeze, which is a good sign for clean conditions, but there’s just no wave to ride. It’s a real teaser.

We finally see a little bump of energy around the 16th, but even then, we’re only talking about 2ft. The combined energy ticks up to 108, which is moderate, but the wind is cross-onshore and the surf quality is still rated as poor. It’s not what we’re after.

The most promising window looks like the 17th. The swell jumps slightly to 3ft, and the energy is up to 111, which is the most we’ve seen. It’s still small, but it’s the best of a bad bunch. The wind is cross-shore, so it’ll be a bit lumpy, but it’s the only day you might get a few rideable little waves. The period is 10 seconds, so it’s got a little bit of shape to it, but don't expect any gems.

After that, it’s gone again. The swell just fades out into nothing. The wind stays blustery and there’s just no power to the ocean. We’re back to sub-0.7ft junk. The last day of the forecast, the 25th, shows the same thing, a fading swell with a longer period but no size.

So, bottom line: there really isn’t a standout day here. The setup is just too small and too wind-affected. For a beginner spot like this, it’s not going to be worth the paddle. The swell is below 5ft, so it’s not dangerous, but it’s just not fun. With the persistent cross-shore winds, it might be more interesting for the kite crew than the surf crew. Keep an eye on the longer-range forecasts, but as it stands, you’re better off doing something else for the next couple of weeks.

Rusty.
