The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Bruces Beauties for the next couple of weeks.
Right now, Monday the 7th is a no-go. There’s a 2.5m SSW swell, but it’s getting hammered by a 30 mph ENE wind, so it’s all blown out. The water’s sitting at 63°F, about 3°F colder than average, so you’ll need a wetsuit.
Things clean up on Tuesday the 8th. The morning brings a light offshore SW wind at 6 mph, and a clean 5ft easterly swell with moderate energy (531). It’s not big, but it’ll be fun. The afternoon drops to 4ft with cross-shore wind, so it’s more marginal.
The rest of the week is small and quiet until Sunday the 13th. That’s a standout. The morning has a clean 8ft easterly swell with a solid 1112 energy reading and a cross-offshore W wind. By afternoon, it goes glassy with a light SW wind at 3 mph, and the swell holds at 8ft (961 energy). That’s going to be a beauty—clean, powerful, and great for experienced surfers.
Monday the 14th is a step down to 6ft with light winds, still surfable. Tuesday the 15th brings a long-period 17-second SSW groundswell at 3ft, but with glassy conditions in the afternoon, it’ll be tidy.
Now, the big one: Thursday the 17th of September. That morning we’ve got a 10ft SSW swell with a very long period of 13 seconds, and it’s glassy with a light NE wind at 3 mph. The energy is massive at 5430—that’s heavy, expert-only territory. The afternoon gets blown out, so it’s a dawn patrol mission.
After that, the swell drops off into the 20th with a clean 5ft easterly swell (594 energy) on Sunday, then fades out completely.
Best calls: Sunday the 13th for a clean, solid session, and the Thursday 17th morning for the experts—a true standout, but it’s a long way out and only for the brave.
