Bruces Beauties Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, surfers, Rusty here with a look at what's coming our way for Bruces Beauties.

We’re looking at a real mixed bag over the next couple of weeks. The first half of the forecast is pretty quiet, but there's a pulse of energy trying to show up later. Let’s break it down.

Right now, for the 26th of August, it’s a no-go. We’ve got a big 12ft south swell rolling in, which sounds juicy, but the wind is screaming from the east at 19 mph. That’s turning it into a lumpy, messy onshore wind mess. The wave energy is massive (5609), but it’s all wasted. This one is for the kite surfers if anyone’s keen.

We start to see some improvement from the 27th through to the 1st of September, but it’s small and inconsistent. Swell drops from 7ft down to a piddly 2ft. The winds do go clean offshore or cross-offshore at times, which is nice, but there’s just not enough oomph. The combined energy drops from 2695 all the way down to 49, so don’t expect much more than ankle-snappers. The water temp is about average for the time of year.

Now, things get interesting from the 3rd of September. We get a fresh SW wind swinging offshore on the morning of the 3rd, with a clean 4ft south swell. The energy is moderate (268), and it looks like a solid, clean option. That Thursday morning is a standout window for a sneaky session.

But listen, the real highlight, if it comes together, is that big pulse starting on the 6th of September. Sunday the 6th sees a long-period south groundswell with a 13-second period and solid 10ft to 12ft heights. The combined energy is massive (3436 to 3813). This is expert territory. The catch? The wind is onshore or cross-onshore, so it won't be perfect. However, Monday the 7th of September morning looks absolutely firing. We get a fresh, clean offshore SW wind at 19 mph on a dropping 6ft SSE swell with a solid 11-second period and very strong energy (1996). That Monday morning is the absolute standout on offer. This is a reef break that loves a south swell, and with offshore wind, it will be glassy and epic. Just know it’s an advanced spot and can be inconsistent, so pick your peak.

After that, it gets smaller again heading into the second week, with a return to onshore winds and messy conditions. The 8th and 9th of September have some energy, but the wind is junk from the east and southeast. The 10th of September morning looks clean again with a westerly offshore and a small 3ft SE swell, but the energy is low.

So to wrap it up: The next few days are a write-off. Get ready for Thursday the 3rd of September, but keep your eyes locked on Monday the 7th of September morning. That’s the one that has the potential to be truly special. Rusty out.
