The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you on this one. The outlook for Basse-Pointe over the next 16 days is a tough pill to swallow. We’re looking at a long stretch of mostly poor conditions, with a few flickers of hope that are just too weak to get excited about. There’s really no standout, no true winner in this window.
The whole run starts with a total dud. Tuesday the 1st through to Monday the 7th of September is just grim. The swell is tiny and weak, with combined energy barely creeping into the low triple digits at best, and mostly sitting below 100 (87-188 range). It’s coming from the East or ENE, with a short period of just 7-8 seconds, so those waves have no grunt. On top of that, the wind is a messy cross-onshore or cross-shore breeze, making the water look like a washing machine. The first time we see anything even close to clean is Saturday the 5th morning, with a light cross-offshore wind, but the swell is only 3ft from the ENE and the energy is weak (104). It’s surfable, but it’s not worth paddling out for.
The second week doesn’t offer much salvation. From Monday the 8th, the swell picks up a bit, hitting 5ft to 7ft, and the combined energy starts to climb into the 300s and even 600s on the 9th. That sounds promising, but don’t be fooled. The period is still stuck at 8 seconds, and the wind is a relentless cross-shore or cross-onshore breeze blowing at 12-19 mph. The wave comment across the entire board is “poor surf conditions.” The 9th of September morning has a risk of thunderstorms and the wind is a fresh 19 mph. That’s more of a kiteboarding setup than a surfing one, if you ask me. It's too messy for a paddle.
As we slide into the back half of the forecast, the swell drops back down to 2ft-4ft from the 13th onward, with combined energy falling back under 200. The wind stays onshore or cross-shore, so it’s more of the same jagged, choppy conditions. If you’re a beginner, those 2ft days might look okay, but the cross-onshore wind will make it a frustrating push. For anyone else, there’s just nothing to get excited about. The water temperature is sitting at a warm 84°, which is pretty much average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Honestly, this is a 16-day stretch where the best advice is to keep the board in the car and wait for the next system. Sometimes it just goes flat and messy, and this is one of those times. Keep your eyes on the charts, things can change.
Rusty.

Information about the Basse-Pointe Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Basse-Pointe provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Basse-Pointe can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Basse-Pointe 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 (Basse-Pointe) 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 Basse-Pointe 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.
