The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
This is a rough stretch. The whole 16-day window is mostly a bust. The first real chance to even look at the water is Thursday, 6th August, but it’s a no-go. Tiny 2ft swell from the WNW, a short 6-second period, and a cross-onshore wind messing it up. The water is 67°, which is a lot warmer than usual for this time of year—about 5° above average.
The 7th, 8th, and 9th of August are a total blank. We’re talking a gap of several days with nothing. The swell energy is pitiful, barely registering.
Things perk up a bit around the 13th of August. Thursday morning shows a 2ft swell from the west with a 9-second period, and the combined energy hits 107 (moderate). The wind is still cross-on from the northwest, so it’s not clean, but there’s a little more power. Afternoon gets to 3ft and 125 energy, but again, the wind ruins it. Saturday, 15th August, afternoon the swell just dies.
The 18th of August offers a little pulse: 4ft from the ENE, but with a short 5-second period, so it’s weak and bumpy. The wind is cross-shore, not totally trashed, but not good. The one real standout, the only window that looks like a surf, is the morning of Wednesday, 19th August. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the ENE, period still short at 5 seconds, but the wind is from the southwest at 15 mph, giving a clean, cross-offshore flow. The combined energy is 92 (moderate). That’s the best we’ll get. It’s a small, clean wave, but not big. Thursday morning, 20th August, also sees a clean, cross-off wind with a 4ft swell, but the period is still short.
After that, it’s back to tiny, lumpy, and blown out.
So, the only real highlight is Wednesday morning, 19th August, at Anse du Brick. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent. The swell is 4ft from the ENE, and with that clean cross-offshore wind, it’ll be your best chance for a fun, manageable paddle. Crowds are sometimes around, so expect a few others. It’s not big, it’s not groundswell, but it’s the only game in town.
Rusty.
