The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here.
Well, I’ve got to be straight with you. Right now, and for the next couple of weeks, there’s just nothing doing. We’re looking at a proper flat spell. The swell is basically non-existent, barely a ripple out there, and what little energy is showing is weak. For the first chunk of this outlook, we’re talking about swell heights of 1.3ft to 0.7ft, which is gutless. The wind is also a problem, mostly a fresh cross-shore breeze that’s got the surface lumpy and chopped up. It’s not surfable, plain and simple.
We don’t start to see even a hint of improvement until around Wednesday the 19th. A little blip of swell, still tiny at 0.7ft, but the wind turns a bit more offshore, cleaning things up. Still, that’s not rideable surf, more like a hopeful sign. From there, it’s a long, drawn-out stretch of nothing, with the swell hovering between 0.3ft and 1ft and the trade winds blowing onshore or cross-shore for most of it. The energy readings are just pathetic, with values like 48, 45, or even 8, which tells you how weak everything is.
There is one small window around the 19th and 20th of August where the wind goes a little more cross-offshore, but the swell is just too small to get excited about. The best I can say is that it’s clean, but there’s nothing to ride.
The water temp at Anse Bertrand is sitting at 84.2°, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a wetsuit. But that’s about the only highlight.
Honestly, for the next 16 days, there are no good surf options to be found. It’s a complete blank run. The break itself is inconsistent, which is normal for the area, but this looks like a particularly poor stretch. It tends not to stay this bad for long, so fingers crossed we see a pulse of swell later in the month. The tail end of the forecast, around the 29th and 30th, shows a tiny bit more energy, with a 1ft NE swell showing up, but it’s still a long shot and not worth planning a session around right now.
Keep the board in the car, but maybe just for the drive to work. This one’s a washout.

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.
