Anse du Brick Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer at Anse du Brick. Gotta be straight with you—this is a grim outlook. The whole 16-day window is pretty much a write-off for decent paddle surfing. There are no standout days, no hidden gems. The only faint glimmer is a single morning on the 13th of August that's just about surfable, but it's ordinary at best. Before that, the first few days are a total bust with no surf worth mentioning.

We start off with nothing. Monday the 10th through Wednesday the 12th are all "poor surf conditions" with tiny, weak swell and the wrong wind. The combined swell energy is basically nothing, staying below 100 the whole time, so there's no energy in the water at all. Honestly, it's more of a lake than an ocean out there.

Then comes Thursday morning, 13th of August. This is the one and only chance to get wet, but don't get excited. We're looking at a tiny 2ft swell from the west, with a long period of 9 seconds. That longer period will give a bit of shape, but the energy is still weak at 57. The wind is glassy, which is a rare positive—absolutely clean conditions. But the swell is so small it's really only for beginners or anyone desperate to get the board under their feet. The water temperature is about average for this time of year. For the rest of that day and into Friday, the wind comes up and chops it out again.

From Friday the 14th all the way through to Tuesday the 25th of August, it's a solid run of poor to awful conditions. The wind is almost always cross-onshore or onshore, and often strong, gusting up to 25 mph. The swell stays small, rarely getting over 3ft, and when it does push a bit bigger, like 4ft on the 18th of August, the wind is a mess. The combined energy occasionally climbs into the low triple digits, like 146 on the 16th of August and 157 on the 18th, but with the wind blowing straight across or onshore, the surface is chopped to pieces. These setups would be far better suited for kite surfing than paddle surfing, especially with those steady trade winds. This is just a blank run for an area like this; sometimes it happens.

So, bottom line: save your energy for another day unless you're a beginner who just wants to float around in glassy conditions on the 13th of August morning. That's the best it gets, and that's not saying much.

Rusty.
