Bruces Beauties Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Bruces Beauties.

We’ve got a bit of a rough patch to get through first. The forecast starts off with a lot of wind and messy conditions, so honestly, the first few days are a write-off. There’s a solid 10ft swell from the SSE on the 3rd, but it’s blowing 28 mph from the SSE and the wave energy is strong at 1262, but it’s just not clean. That pattern holds through the 4th, 5th, and into the 6th. The 6th actually sees a massive 10ft swell from the SSW with a very long period of 18 seconds, and the energy is pumping at 6661, but with 25 mph winds from the east, it’s blown out. Not worth paddling out.

The first real light at the end of the tunnel comes on Tuesday the 8th. The morning looks glassy, with a clean 5ft swell from the east at 9 seconds. Wave energy is moderate at 580. That’s going to be the best wave quality of the early run, with clean conditions and no wind. It’s a reef break that’s inconsistent so don’t expect a packed lineup, but it is exposed to the swell. The water temperature is sitting at 65°, which is about normal for this time of year. The afternoon on the 8th is still surfable but smaller at 4ft with a bit of cross-shore breeze.

Things go quiet again for a few days with small, weak swell and poor conditions. Then a bigger window opens up on Monday the 14th. The afternoon session looks like a standout. We’re seeing a good 10ft SSW swell, a long period of 15 seconds, with clean conditions and cross-offshore wind from the WSW at 12 mph. The wave energy is a strong 4149. This is a big, powerful groundswell, and on a reef it’s going to hold up nicely. This is for experienced surfers, though – 10ft is no joke. The swell direction (SSW) is not the optimum (ESE) but with that much energy and clean wind, it’s still the best on offer.

Tuesday the 15th afternoon is also solid. 7ft from the SSW, 12 second period, and a clean offshore wind from the SW at 12 mph. That’s proper offshore, and the wave energy is 1977. Another good call for the more experienced crew.

The second week is a bit of a mixed bag. The 16th has some wind issues, and the 17th looks small and clean but not powerful. The 18th is back to lumpy cross-shore chop.

So, to wrap it up: the first week is a struggle until Tuesday the 8th morning, which is your best bet for a clean, glassy session. The real standout, though, is Monday the 14th afternoon. Big swell, clean wind, and that reef setup. Bring your big-wave board and your wits.

Rusty.
