Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, let’s talk surf for Bruces Beauties in feet and miles per hour.
Water temp is 65°F, a bit chillier than usual for this time of year—about a degree and a half colder than normal.
We’ve got a slow run to start. From Monday the 6th to Thursday the 9th, the swell is tiny—mostly 1 to 3 ft, and the wave energy is weak (down to 18, 46, 75). Not worth the drive.
Then Friday the 10th morning—boom. A solid 12 ft SSW groundswell with a 13-second period. Energy hits 4404—that’s strong. This is expert territory. Wind is light and clean from the WNW, so the lineup will be smooth. This is the session you want to be on. Only for experienced surfers.
Friday afternoon the same size is on offer, but a light cross-on wind makes it a little rougher.
Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th get messy. Fresh east-southeast winds chop everything up. Even though the swell holds 7 to 13 ft, it’s lumpy and poor. Looks better for kite surfing.
Monday the 13th to Wednesday the 15th brings clean conditions but only small-to-moderate swell—5 to 8 ft from the SE. Winds are offshore or cross-off. It’s surfable, but nothing special. Energy sits between 422 and 1233.
From Thursday the 16th to Sunday the 19th, the swell drops to almost nothing—under 3 ft. Energy is below 200. Not worth it.
Then Monday the 20th shows a possible late pulse: another big SSW swell at 10 ft, 14-second period, energy of 3402, with clean offshore wind. That’s over a week away, so it’s promising but not locked in.
Best bet: Friday the 10th morning. Big, clean, expert-only. Monday the 20th is a long-range maybe.

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.
