Anse du Brick Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let me tell ya, this is a tough one to call. Honestly, for the next dozen days or so, the surf at Anse du Brick is looking pretty flat and ordinary. We’ve got a long stretch of weak, messy waves with hardly any decent energy. Most days the swell is small and the wind is cross or cross-off, making for bumpy, disappointing conditions. It’s a real quiet spell.

Things start off on Wednesday afternoon with a tiny 0.7ft swell from the west, but the wind is a cross-off 16 mph. It’s a no-go.

Then Thursday and Friday, the swell picks up a bit, but the wind is strong and unruly. Thursday morning sees a 5ft swell from the west with a short period of 7 seconds, and the wind is howling at 16 mph. It’s got some energy (230) but it’s just not clean. Friday is bigger, with a 6ft swell from the west, but the wind is 19 mph from the west-southwest, making it a lumpy mess. The combined energy on Friday morning is 337, but it’s all for nothing with that wind.

The weekend offers a little respite, but the swell drops right off. Saturday and Sunday see tiny waves, under 3ft, and the wind is light but cross-onshore. It’s not worth a paddle.

Monday and Tuesday of the following week, the swell tries to build again, but the wind is a problem. Monday afternoon has a 3ft swell with a period of 12 seconds, which is a nice long period from the west, but the cross-off wind is 22 mph. It’s clean but the wind is too strong to make it fun. Tuesday sees a 5ft swell with moderate energy (392), but again, the cross-shore wind is 19-22 mph.

The real kicker comes on Wednesday, September 9th. The swell jumps up to 8ft from the west, but it’s a short 7-second period, and the wind is a cross-shore 19 mph. The combined energy is a whopping 611, but it’s a messy, close-out shore dump. This is expert-only territory, and even then, the wind is going to ruin it. It’s a raw, powerful, but ugly day.

After that, it drops off again. The only glimmer of hope is on Thursday, September 11th, when the wind goes light offshore from the south at 6 mph, with a tiny 1ft swell. The conditions are clean, but it’s barely surfable.

And then, way out there on Thursday, September 17th, we get a weird one. The wind goes glassy from the north-northwest, with a 4ft swell from the east-northeast with a short period. The combined energy is 83. It’s a clean, glassy morning, but the swell direction is from the east-northeast, which is not the optimum west-northwest direction for this spot. It’s a strange, isolated pocket of clean conditions, but don’t expect much.

Honestly, there’s no standout session here. The best of a bad bunch is probably the Tuesday, September 8th, with a 5ft swell and moderate energy, but you’ll be fighting the cross-shore wind. The Thursday, September 17th morning is the only glassy window, but the swell is small and from the wrong direction. The water is 68°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, at least 5°F above average. That’s a nice change, but it doesn’t help the waves.
