Anse du Brick Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve been staring at the charts for Anse du Brick, and honestly, it’s a tough stretch. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a write-off, so don’t be holding your breath for anything special. There are no standout sessions, no magic windows worth chasing. It’s a flat, messy run from start to finish.

Things kick off on Monday the 6th with tiny 1 ft swells from the WNW, but the wind is a problem – cross-shore and cross-onshore all day, creating rubbish, chopped-out conditions. The energy is weak as well, just 27 to 29 (combined energy). Tuesday the 7th looks very similar, with the same small 1 ft swell and a cross-onshore wind making a mess. Wednesday the 8th is even smaller, dropping to 1.0 ft, with a gentle cross-onshore breeze keeping it ugly.

We get a slight bump in height from Thursday the 9th into the weekend, but it’s still poor. On Thursday the 9th, the swell hits 1 ft in the morning but the combined energy only climbs to 51, and then a 3 ft ENE windswell shows up in the afternoon with a short 5-second period – just bumpy, messy junk. Friday the 10th sees a 4 ft ENE swell in the morning (combined energy 100), and for a moment it goes clean with a light cross-offshore breeze, but the swell direction is off and the period is still short at 5 seconds. It’s surfable if you’re desperate, but it’s ordinary.

Saturday the 11th morning is the best of a bad lot: 4 ft from the ENE, 6-second period, and a light cross-offshore breeze keeping it clean with a combined energy of 135. It’s surfable but very ordinary – the wave quality is poor, and the short period means it’s not holding shape well. Afternoon turns to junk with onshore wind. Sunday the 12th drops right off to 0.7 ft, and fresh cross-onshore winds just hammer it.

From Monday the 13th through the next week, it’s a brutal run. The swell hovers around 0.3 ft to 1.0 ft with strong to fresh cross-onshore winds most days – messy, lumpy, and barely a ripple. Even when we see a bump to 4 ft on Tuesday the 14th afternoon or Monday the 20th afternoon (combined energy 127 and 119), the winds are either fresh onshore or cross-onshore, and the periods are short, so you’re just getting blown-out, chopped-up slop. By Tuesday the 21st, the combined energy hits 206 from a 4 ft W swell with an 8-second period, but it’s still cross-shore wind and rain showers – not worth paddling out.

There is no standout swell, no clean offshore window, and no decent wave quality to recommend. The break itself is exposed to the WNW, which is okay, and it’s fairly consistent, but with winds all over the place and the swell tiny or onshore, it’s a blank run. For a spot that’s generally reliable, this is an unusually long poor stretch. Keep the board in the shed. If this was your only option, I’d say go for a kite session if you have one, because the constant cross and cross-onshore wind is more useful for that than for paddle surfing. Forecasts can always change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.

Rusty.
