The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this stretch of coast is looking pretty quiet. Anse du Brick is the only spot we’ve got on the radar, and it’s a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent little wave. But don’t get your hopes up too high; we’ve got a long run of poor surf conditions ahead.
The water temperature is sitting at 67°F right now, which is a solid 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s notable, almost like a warm bath compared to the norm.
Right from the start, Saturday morning the 1st of August, we’ve got a tiny 2 ft swell from the west, with a short period of 5 seconds and weak energy (32). The wind is onshore from the NNW at 9 mph, so it’s messy. Not worth paddling out. That theme sticks around for days. The swell stays small, mostly under 3 ft, with short periods, and the wind is cross-on or cross-off but never really clean. The energy readings are all in the double digits, weak stuff.
We do get a tiny bump on Thursday the 6th of August, with a 4 ft west swell, period up to 7 seconds, and energy hitting 127 (moderate). But the wind is cross-onshore from the WNW at 16 mph, so it’s choppy and poor. Still not a goer.
There’s a real dry spell here. From the 1st right through to the 16th of August, every single session is marked as “poor surf conditions.” You’ll get a few cleaner moments on Tuesday morning the 4th, Wednesday morning the 5th, and then again on the 14th, 15th, and 16th, where the wind goes cross-off or clean, but the swell is tiny—1 ft to 2 ft—and the period is short. The energy is weak, all under 60. It’s flat, really.
The only standout, if you can call it that, is Thursday morning the 13th of August. The swell is still small at 2 ft from the west, period 9 seconds, but the energy bumps up to 59 and the wind is light from the NW at 6 mph, just a light cross-onshore with small ripples. Glassy enough for a beginner to get a few knee-high runners. But that’s about as good as it gets.
Overall, we’ve got a 16-day window with no real swell and no quality surf. The best on offer is that tiny, clean-ish window on the 13th for absolute beginners. If you’re a more experienced surfer, you’re better off waiting for a different forecast. The setup here is so small and weak, it’s more interesting for a paddleboard than a surfboard right now.
Rusty.
