Anse du Brick Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Righto, grab a coffee and settle in, 'cause Rusty’s gotta be straight with ya—this 16-day stretch for Anse du Brick (Mauritius) is a tough one. We’ve got a near-complete dry spell for surfable waves, so don’t be holding your breath for any sort of epic session. The whole run is plagued by poor surf conditions and very ordinary wave quality. There's a real gap of decent surf here, with nothing worthwhile for the first two weeks. No standouts to speak of—it’s one of those blank runs that’s more normal for the area, so keep the board in the bag and the expectations low.

Friday the 14th through to Sunday the 24th of August is just a write-off. Tiny, weak swell with energy barely hitting triple digits—mostly under 100 (combined energy). Winds are cross-shore or cross-onshore, making the surface a mess. Water temperature is sitting at 68°F with an anomaly of 4°F, which is much warmer than usual for the time of year, but that’s about the only interesting thing. For the whole first week, the swell is under 3 ft and short-period, so it’s gutless.

Now, late in the window, things get a little more interesting for the experts. Thursday morning on the 27th of August, we see a jump in energy to 231 with a 5 ft W swell, period 6 seconds. It’s a bit short-period, and at over 5 ft it might be a bit much for the beginners, but the wind is cross-offshore and clean—that’s proper. The wave comment still says “poor surf conditions,” but that’s the best we get.

Following that, on Friday the 28th of August in the afternoon, we finally get a “surfable waves” note. Swell is small, just 2 ft from the W with a period of 8 seconds, and the wind goes glassy with a light breeze. It’s clean, but the energy is low at 51. Crowds can be an issue here “sometimes,” so if you go, don’t expect to have it to yourself.

For the start of September, it drops right off again. Sunday the 29th of August afternoon has a risk of thunderstorms and a 1 ft W swell with clean cross-offshore wind, but it’s tiny.

In short: don’t rearrange your life for this forecast. The one hopeful window is the last week of August, specifically the 27th to the 28th, but it’s not a classic. Keep an eye on the long-range, but this one’s a pass for the most part.

Rusty.
