The Lowdown
Alright, pull up a seat. Rusty here, lookin’ at the charts for the next couple weeks. And I gotta be straight with you – it’s looking pretty bleak for the most part. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak surf ahead, so don’t get your hopes up for anything too exciting.
The only spot we’re really looking at is Anse Bertrand. This is a beginner-friendly setup, but with a big caveat – it’s inconsistent and rarely breaks, so you need to be patient. The water is sitting at a warm 84°, which is just about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The whole 16-day forecast is a mess of tiny, weak waves. From Saturday, September 5th, right through to Saturday, September 19th, we’re looking at wave heights barely tickling 1 ft to 2 ft, with combined swell energy mostly under 100 – often in the single digits or teens (1 to 86). That’s ankle-snappers at best. The wind is a constant problem, too. It’s mostly a brisk cross or cross-off breeze from the ESE or E, blowing 12 to 22 mph. This keeps the water surface messy and lumpy, with a cross-chop that’ll make you work hard for nothing.
There’s a tiny, tiny pulse that pops up around Monday, September 7th, and Tuesday, September 8th. Swell from the NNE bumps up to 2 ft to 2 ft with a period of 11 to 12 seconds, and the combined energy hits a moderate 121 to 125. But the wind is howling cross-shore at 19 mph, so it’s not going to be clean. For a beginner spot, this is more of a washing machine than a wave. Later on, from the 15th to the 20th, we get a slightly cleaner cross-off wind, but the swell drops right back to 0.7 ft to 2 ft with energy in the single digits to 48. It’s flat, plain and simple.
If the wind were lighter and the swell had more punch, the NNE direction does match the optimum swell direction for Anse Bertrand, but with these tiny heights and constant wind, it’s a no-go. With the strong winds and poor quality, this setup is honestly more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing at the moment.
Don’t write the whole month off, though. Forecasts can shift, and it’s rare to have this kind of blank run last forever. But for now, leave the board in the car and the wax in the cupboard.

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.
