Bruces Beauties Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, checking in with a look at the next couple of weeks at Bruces Beauties.

First up, it’s a quiet start. Nothing doing for the next couple of days. We’ve got a bit of swell around on Wednesday and Thursday, but it’s small – around 3ft to 2ft – and the conditions are just ordinary. Not worth paddling out for.

Now, the big news. Friday the 24th of July is the standout of the whole outlook. We’re looking at a solid 13ft groundswell from the SSW, period pushing 16 seconds – that’s proper, long-period energy. The combined energy is massive at 7866 (very strong wave energy). And get this: glassy conditions in the morning with a slight air. This is exceptional, but let’s be real, at this size and power, it’s strictly for experts. This is a wave that will be breaking straight and fast, but with that direction hitting the optimum ESE swell direction for the reef, it should be a serious session for those who can handle it. It’s an inconsistent spot, so don’t expect non-stop sets, but when they come, they’ll be worth the wait. Water temp is sitting at 66°F, which is pretty much average for this time of year.

The rest of that weekend gets messy. Saturday the 25th sees onshore and cross-onshore wind, chopping up the swell. Sunday the 26th afternoon could be a bit better with a 4ft SSW swell and a clean cross-off breeze – that might offer a few salvageable waves, but nothing like Friday.

The following week has a few interesting moments. Tuesday the 28th morning, we have a big 8ft SSW swell, but a fresh cross-shore wind is making it lumpy. That’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a clean paddle session. The afternoon gets blown out completely.

Then we get a nice window around the 4th and 5th of August. Tuesday the 4th afternoon has a 6ft swell from the east, combined energy at 828 (moderate wave energy), and a gentle offshore from the SW. That’s going to be clean and lined up on the reef. Wednesday the 5th morning keeps it going with a 6ft east swell and light cross-off winds. These two sessions look like solid, surfable options for intermediate to advanced crew, with clean conditions and a consistent swell from an east direction.

From the 6th of August, the wind turns ugly again with strong cross-onshore, and it’s a write-off. That wraps it up for the run.

All up, Friday the 24th is the big fish – that’s the session to circle on the calendar. Otherwise, keep an eye on the 4th and 5th of August for some clean, fun waves.

Stay salty,
Rusty
