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.

Rusty.

Information about the Bruces Beauties Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Bruces Beauties provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Bruces Beauties can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Bruces Beauties surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Bruces Beauties) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Bruces Beauties may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
