Anse du Brick Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Hey, grab your board, let’s talk about your local stretch at Anse du Brick. The next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag, with a serious wait for the good stuff. The water’s running way warmer than you’d expect for this time, about 68°, which feels much warmer than normal – you’ll want a thinner suit or maybe just boardies if you're brave.

Right now, from Saturday the 29th, it’s a no-go. There’s a big, chunky swell rolling in at about 10 ft from the WSW with a short, snappy 8-second period, but winds are howling at 34 mph from the WSW. That’s a cross-off breeze, but it’s so strong it’s trashing everything. The combined energy is moderate (935), but it’s just blown out. Skip it.

Sunday the 30th is still a write-off. Swell drops to 5 ft from the W, but the wind stays cross-off and clean-looking on paper, but the forecast calls it marginal. The energy drops to 306. Not worth paddling out.

Monday the 31st brings more size, 8 ft to 6 ft from the W, but the cross-shore wind is fresh and lumpy. That energy jumps back up to 942 and 660, but the surface is a mess. This is beach-and-reef setup, and honestly, with those winds and a short-period swell, it’s looking more like a kite-surfing day than a paddle-surfing day.

Tuesday the 1st of September finally has a tiny window. Morning shows a 3 ft W swell with 9-second period, and only a 6 mph cross-off breeze. The water will be clean, but the energy is weak (133). It’s surfable, but very ordinary.

Then we hit a dead zone. From Wednesday the 2nd right through to Monday the 7th of September, it’s a long gap of mostly flat or tiny, weak swell with poor conditions. There’s a brief spike on Thursday the 3rd with 6 ft from W, but the period is a short 7 seconds and winds are fresh – it’s not going to be good. The combined energy on that day is 302, but it’s still a no-go.

Monday the 7th afternoon has a 4 ft W swell with a long period of 11 seconds, but it’s cross-on with heavy rain. The energy is 344, but the wind ruins it.

Now, here’s the standout. Mark your calendar for Friday the 11th of September. The morning session is the real deal. You’ve got a 7 ft W swell with an 8-second period, but the wind is light and offshore from the ESE, only 3 mph. The water will be glassy clean. The combined energy is strong (553), and the forecast rates it as very good. This is a big swell, over 5 ft, so it’ll be pushing into the more experienced surfers’ zone, especially with that shorter period making it a bit thumping. The optimum direction here is WNW, and the swell is coming from the W – close enough to make it work.

Saturday the 12th of September morning still looks promising with 3 ft from W, a nice long 11-second period (groundswell), and light ESE cross-off winds. The energy is moderate (302). That long period will make for better-shaped waves at this spot, but it will bring longer lulls between sets.

Finally, Sunday the 13th of September morning offers a glassy, 4 ft W swell with 10-second period and SSW winds at 3 mph. That’s clean, but the energy is moderate (277). It’s a nice option if you missed the earlier days.

So, to sum it up: the first week is mostly a bust. The only real standouts are Friday the 11th (big, clean, expert-friendly) and maybe the mornings of the 12th and 13th for cleaner but smaller surf. Hang tight for next week.
