Bruces Beauties Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here with the look ahead for Bruces Beauties. This is a reef setup, exposed to swell, but it’s an inconsistent spot so we need the planets to line up.

The first week is a bit of a mixed bag. The water is sitting at 64°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so a decent full suit is the go.

Sunday the 19th has a small clean morning with a 4ft SE swell (216 combined swell energy), but the wind is cross-off. It's surfable but nothing to write home about. Monday the 20th afternoon looks better – a 4ft SE swell with a longer 12-second period and lighter offshore wind, and the combined energy jumps to 639. That’s a solid, clean option. Tuesday the 21st morning is absolute glass with a 4ft SE swell (281 combined energy), making for a really fun, clean session.

Then things get tricky. Wednesday the 22nd morning is glassy but small at 3ft, and the swell direction shifts to ESE. By Thursday and Friday, the 23rd and 24th, the swell goes tiny or gets blown out.

The standout, however, is the morning of Friday the 24th. A big 13ft SSW swell rolls in with a very long 16-second period (combined energy 7663). This is serious groundswell. At a reef, those long lines should wrap in nicely, but it’s big – over 8ft – so this is for experienced surfers only. The wind is a light cross-on, which keeps it manageable, but it’s a powerful day.

There’s a quiet spell after that, with small stuff and onshore winds through the weekend and into the start of the next week.

But then from Monday the 27th morning, we get another pulse: a 5ft SSW swell with a 17-second period (combined energy 1255) and clean offshore wind. That’s another excellent session for the more experienced crew.

The real gold appears at the end of the month. On the morning of Thursday the 30th, we have a 4ft SSW swell again with a 17-second period (939 combined energy) but cross-shore winds make it a bit tricky. Friday the 31st morning is something else: a 13ft ESE swell (9-second period, combined energy 3091) with glassy conditions. That’s a big, clean, powerful day – again, experts only.

And then Saturday, August the 1st afternoon brings a 15ft ESE swell with glassy conditions and a combined energy of 4467. That is the biggest and cleanest of the whole outlook. If you can handle it, that’s the session to aim for.

The first week of August keeps that energy rolling with solid 10ft to 12ft E swells and clean to offshore winds, so the quality holds.

Overall, the best bets are the big groundswell days on Friday the 24th morning, and the massive clean days on Friday the 31st morning and Saturday the 1st afternoon. Get on it.

Rusty.
