Hey, Rusty here. Let’s talk Bruces Beauties over the next couple weeks – a reef break for advanced surfers only, and it’s inconsistent, so you gotta be patient. Monday morning July 6 kicks things off with a glassy 3ft ESE swell, 11 second period – proper groundswell. Combined energy is moderate (209). Small but clean for the early birds. Monday afternoon the wind turns onshore and ruins it, and then we hit a quiet stretch. Tuesday through Thursday (July 7-9) are all poor – tiny waves, iffy wind. Friday July 10 morning brings a big spike: 12ft from the SSW, 14 seconds, energy screaming 4813. But the wind is onshore from the NE, so it’s gonna be lumpy and ugly. Saturday and Sunday (July 11-12) still have size but wind problems – Sunday afternoon has a clean offshore (SSW 19 mph) with around 4ft, but that offshore is strong, so paddling’s a workout. Monday July 13 is blown out by gale-force cross-off winds.
The real gem: Tuesday July 14 morning. Swell settles to 4ft from the SSW, 11 seconds, energy 709, with a light WNW cross-off breeze at 9 mph. The report says “expect very good surf conditions.” For an inconsistent reef, that’s your window. Clean, lined-up waves with the right wind. Crowds are “sometimes” around, so you might share it. Tuesday afternoon still has a clean 5ft with a light cross-shore – not as perfect but still fun.
The second week gets rough. Wednesday July 15 through Saturday July 19 are mostly poor – strong winds, small chop, or onshore junk. Sunday July 20 is onshore and tiny. But look to Tuesday July 21 morning: another pulse – 5ft from the SSW, 16 seconds (very long period) and cross-off west wind at 19 mph. Energy 1434. That’s a distant maybe, but worth watching. For now, Tuesday the 14th is your best bet.
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.
