Bruces Beauties Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Bruces Beauties has in store for us over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a mixed bag to be honest – we’ll see some serious juice come through, but the wind and timing are going to be the big players here.

Right off the bat, the first few days aren’t much to write home about. Sunday the 2nd and Monday the 3rd are pretty rough with onshore and cross-onshore winds, making things choppy. We get a bit of size on Sunday afternoon with a 8ft swell from the ESE, but the wind is just messing it up. That afternoon swell does have a lot of energy behind it (1428), but it’s just not clean. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing too wild.

Things start to look much better on Wednesday morning, the 5th. The wind swings offshore from the SW, light at 3 mph, and we’ve got a clean 4ft E swell at 10 seconds. The energy is moderate (590) and the conditions are looking really good for a reef break. This is a standout window – clean, glassy conditions making for some proper fun waves.

Thursday the 6th is a drop-off with much smaller surf and cleaner but weaker conditions. The next real highlight sneaks in on Sunday the 9th. We’ve got a solid pulse of long-period groundswell from the SSW coming through at 5ft in the morning, but it’s the afternoon that gets the heart pumping – a 10ft S swell with a 14-second period and a huge 2994 combined energy. That’s serious, powerful stuff. The wind is offshore and fresh, so it’ll be clean, but that size is expert-only territory. The swell direction is slightly off the optimum for this spot though, and we’re looking at a fairly long-range call, so it’s promising but keep an eye on it.

We go quiet again before another nice pulse shows up on Wednesday the 12th. The morning has a clean 4ft E swell with light offshore winds, giving us good surf conditions. The energy is moderate (228), but it’s clean and surfable – a nice middle-of-the-week option.

Then there’s another big, powerful SSW groundswell on Thursday the 13th. A 7ft, 18-second period set rolling in, with 2947 energy. That’s a very long period, so it could be a bit straight at times, but on a reef, it’ll have some proper shape. The wind is a fresh cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean, but again, that’s a big wave for experienced surfers only. As we move into the second week, the swell dies right down to nothing by the weekend, with tiny, weak waves.

The absolute best on offer is that Wednesday the 5th morning session. Clean, glassy, and a solid 4ft. My second pick would be the Sunday the 9th afternoon pulse – it’s a monster, but it’s powerful and clean for the brave.
Rusty.
