Anse Bertrand Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. We’ve got a long stretch of quiet conditions ahead, so no need to rush for the board bag just yet.

Looking at the whole 16-day window, it’s a real struggle to find anything decent. The first solid week is basically a write-off. We’re talking about tiny, weak swell barely pushing 0.7ft to 1ft, with easterly winds that are mostly cross or cross-off. The water is sitting around average for this time of year, so nothing wild there. The first few days are flat, with a combined swell energy so low it’s barely registering (2-15). It’s a tough start.

We do get a small pulse on Monday the 7th of September. Anse Bertrand sees a jump to 1ft to 1ft from the NNE, with a period stretching to 13 seconds. That’s a bit of groundswell, but the energy is still weak (33). The wind is cross-off and clean, so the wave faces will look tidy, but don’t expect much push. The biggest issue is that this break is inconsistent, so you’ll be waiting for the occasional set. Crowds are only sometimes an issue, but on a day like this, you'll probably have plenty of room.

The best chance, and I mean the only real standout, arrives on Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th of September. On Tuesday afternoon, the swell finally bumps up to 2ft from the north, with a long period of 12 seconds and a combined energy hitting 163. That’s moderate energy, the first real sign of life. The wind goes clean, light cross-off. Wednesday morning sees a similar 3ft from the north, 11 second period, and energy at 149. These are your best windows. The period is right for a point or reef, but as an exposed beach setup, you’ll get some good, clean lines. It’s still small, but it’s the best on offer. For a beginner, 3ft is fine. For the rest of us, it’s a fun, small-wave board day.

After that, it fades back into the 1ft to 2ft range with onshore chop, so don’t get your hopes up.

Rusty.
