Anse du Brick Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s take a look at the waves comin’ our way here at Anse du Brick. It’s a bit of a quiet start, so don’t be rushing out the door just yet. We’ve got a 16-day window and there’s some action, but it’s gonna be a case of picking the right sessions.

The first real chance to get wet is on Tuesday morning, September 8th. The swell is a modest 4ft out of the west, with a 10-second period. The combined energy is sitting at 262—that’s moderate energy, but it’s got some life. The real winner here is the wind: a light SSW breeze, 9 mph, blowing offshore. That’s gonna keep the surface clean as a whistle. Conditions are looking good, but with the swell only 4ft, it’s a fun, cruisy wave for the beginner to intermediate crew. Keep in mind, the water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothin’ wild there.

The wind shifts later that Tuesday afternoon, swinging NNW and pickin’ up to 22 mph, cross-on. The waves will get lumpy and messy, so that morning window is the one.

After that, we hit a long dry spell. From Tuesday afternoon right through to Thursday morning, September 10th, the surf drops off hard. We’re looking at 2ft waves with weak energy, only 33 to 35 in the combined energy reading. The wind is a mixed bag of cross and cross-off, but the waves just aren’t there. Don’t bother.

Now, Friday morning, September 11th might give you a flicker of hope. The swell is back to 3ft from the west, 10-second period, and the energy climbs to 254. The wind is WSW at 12 mph, cross-off, keepin’ the surf clean. It’s a marginal call, though—the quality isn’t top-notch, and the tide might be a factor. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.

The rest of that week and into the next is mostly a struggle. We see a few mornings with a hint of swell, like Sunday morning, September 13th, but the wind is howling from the NW at 16 mph, cross-on, and chop is gonna ruin the ride. The period is a poor 6 seconds, too. Not worth the paddle out.

There’s a small improvement on Monday, September 14th, with a 2ft, 9-second west swell, and the wind is light cross-off, keeping it clean. But the energy is weak at 86, and the waves are just ordinary.

From there, it’s a long, drawn-out flat spell until Thursday morning, September 17th when a tiny east swell (3ft, 5-second period) shows up. The wind is offshore from the SE, so it’s clean, but the period is so short the waves will be weak and choppy. That’s a kitesurfer’s day, not a paddle surfer’s.

The very end of the window, Monday, September 21st, has a 2ft west swell with an 11-second period, and the energy is moderate at 112. The wind is cross-off from the WSW, so it’s clean. But the size is small, and the quality is poor. It’s a long way out, so don’t bank on it.

The standout? There’s really only one clear winner, and that’s Tuesday morning, September 8th. It’s the only time the stars align with a decent waist-high swell, clean offshore wind, and moderate energy. After that, it’s a lot of waiting and hoping. The break is fairly consistent, but the forecast is just not on our side for a solid run. It’s a tough one for the locals, but hey, that’s the island life.

Stay patient, and keep an eye on the sky. Rusty.
