The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s run through the next 16 days for Bruces Beauties. First few days are flat, so you’re looking at about a 3-day gap before anything surfable shows up. The water’s a bit colder than average for this time of year, sitting at 62°, about 3° below normal, so a thicker wetsuit is a good call.
Thursday morning, 3 September, we get a 5ft swell from the south, with a clean cross-offshore breeze. The energy’s moderate (423), but it’s raining and the period is short at 10 seconds, so don’t expect much. The best bet in this whole window is Tuesday morning, 8 September. A 5ft swell from the SSW, clean cross-offshore wind, and a 12-second period (groundswell) giving it some real grunt. The energy is moderate (896). This break is a reef, so it handles the longer period well, but it’s inconsistent, so you’ll be waiting for sets.
Later in the second week, Saturday afternoon, 12 September, looks glassy with a 5ft easterly swell and 10-second period. The energy is moderate (490), and it’s a solid chance for a clean session. Then Sunday, 13 September, brings a 3ft east swell with strong offshore wind—hard to paddle into, so it’s only for the keen.
The standout is definitely that Tuesday morning, 8 September. Clean, decent size, and the reef will shape it up nicely. The rest of the forecast is mostly a miss, with onshore winds and messy conditions. This spot doesn’t break often, so when it’s on, you’ve got to be there. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.
