Bruces Beauties Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. The long-range charts are showing a bit of a waiting game for us here at Bruces Beauties. For the first stretch, it’s looking pretty quiet and onshore. We’ve got a gap with no real surf on offer from now until the 12th, with a few small, weak pulses but all chopped up by cross-onshore winds. You’d be fighting a losing battle out there. The water’s sitting at 63°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll want the extra rubber.

Then, on the morning of Saturday the 12th, there’s a window. We see a glassy morning with a clean 5ft easterly swell, period of 6 seconds. The energy is moderate (312), but it’s short-period stuff, so it’ll be a bit crumbly. The bigger story is the wind – dead glass. That’s a major positive. The afternoon gets messy again, so you’d want to be on it early. It’s a reef break, so it holds shape, but it’s a bit inconsistent, so you’ll be waiting for sets.

The next real highlight, the standout of the whole run, is on Thursday the 17th in the afternoon. The models are calling for a big jump in size – a serious 15ft southerly swell with a 10-second period. The energy is strong, reading 4155. It’s going to be big and powerful. For a crew of experienced surfers, this is the one to circle. The wind is light, cross-off, and the conditions are clean. However, this size is only for experts; it’ll be too much for most. Keep in mind the direction is from the south, which isn’t the optimum ESE direction this break loves, but at this size, it will still be pumping.

The days after that stay big but the wind gets tricky. The 18th starts with a stormy cross-on, but the afternoon cleans up to a cross-off with 10ft waves, and the energy is strong (2400). It’s got potential but is a “check the tide” sort of session. The 19th has a clean, offshore WSW wind in the afternoon, with 10ft waves and strong energy (1731). Again, it’s for the experienced crew. Sunday the 20th sees strong to very strong energy (2585) with a 10ft swell and offshore winds in the afternoon, but a strong breeze will have it lumpy and testing.

Into the second week, and it’s dropping. The 21st has some size, but it’s onshore and messy. The 22nd gets blown out by strong easterlies. By the 23rd, it’s small and blown out with a near gale, and the swell is weak. It looks like the big window is the 17th to the 20th, and after that, we’re done.

Rusty out.
