The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's shaping up for Anse aux Poules Bleues.
Right now, it's not looking like a great run of surf for this spot. We’ve got a solid 16 days of forecast, but the start is a write-off. The first few days are carrying a lot of wind, and even when the swell is there, the conditions are just plain ordinary. The water's sitting at a warm 80°, which is about what you'd expect for this time of year.
The first real glimmer of anything worth paddling out for shows up on Friday the 21st of August. We've got a 8ft swell coming from the SE, with a period of 8 seconds and a decent punch of energy (951). The wind is offshore, but it’s a fresh breeze, so it'll be a bit lumpy. It's still a marginal call though. This is a reef break that's very sheltered and *inconsistent*, so don't expect a party. It might offer a few, but it's a gamble.
The pattern stays pretty poor through the rest of August. Lots of fresh offshore winds, but the swell quality never really locks in. The surf conditions are mostly listed as poor. There's a notable spike in energy on Saturday the 29th of August with a massive 7ft S swell and a very long 19-second period. The combined energy is huge (5217), but the wind is cranking at 28 mph offshore. That's a strong breeze, making it hard to paddle into and only for experts. That long period groundswell is also prone to closing out on a reef, so don't get too excited.
The real standout, if you can wait, is Monday the 1st of September. The swell holds at 7ft to 8ft from the SE, period is 9 seconds, and the energy is moderate to strong (911-981). The wind drops to a moderate offshore breeze, which should groom the waves much cleaner than the previous days. It’s still a marginal call, but this is easily the best looking window in the whole outlook. It's a solid 8ft on the Wednesday, but that's getting into expert-only territory with the fresh wind.
So, if you're looking for a window, the 1st of September is your best bet. The rest is mostly a waiting game for this inconsistent little reef.
