The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Alright, so the first thing you gotta know: we’ve got a long, dry spell ahead. The first decent surf isn’t really showing its face until Thursday, September 3rd, which is a solid two-week wait. That’s a tough stretch, but don’t lose hope.
The main spot we’re looking at is Anse du Brick. It’s a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent beach break that’s exposed to the west-northwest. The water temp is a very unusual 68° – that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might not even need a full suit right now.
Thursday, August 21st kicks things off, but honestly, it’s a write-off. On Friday morning we’ve got a weak 3 ft west swell with a period of 9 seconds, but a howling NNE wind at 12 mph is smashing it onshore. The energy is weak (148) and the conditions are poor. This is not a surf day. Friday afternoon is even smaller. The whole first week into the second is a mess of tiny, wind-chopped waves or nothing at all. There’s a stretch from Saturday, August 22nd, all the way through Tuesday, September 2nd, where the surf is just not worth your time. You’ll see a few tiny pulses, but the wind is either cross, cross-on, or blowing a gale, trashing any chance of a clean wave. Even when the wind goes offshore on Wednesday, August 26th, the swell is barely 1 ft.
Now, the potential highlight. The real glimmer of hope comes on Thursday, September 3rd. The morning session is looking like the standout of the entire 16-day window. We’ve got a 5 ft west swell rolling in with a beautiful 10-second period, which is a proper groundswell. The energy is strong (522), and it’s pairing with a light 6 mph east wind, giving us cross-offshore conditions. That means clean, groomed faces. The break is a beach, so the long period might make it a bit straight, but with that size and clean wind, it’s the best bet by a long shot. The afternoon turns a bit dodgy as the wind swings onshore, so get in the water early.
After that, things get messy again. Friday, September 4th, brings a bigger 6 ft to 6 ft swell, but a strong NNW wind at 22 mph is blowing straight onshore, making it a washing machine. That’s expert-only, and even then, it’s ugly. Saturday, September 5th, is still crummy with cross-onshore winds. So, in summary: you’re waiting a long time, but Thursday morning, September 3rd, at Anse du Brick is your one shot at something genuinely good.
Stay patient, and keep an eye on the sky.
