Anse du Brick Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's get into it. The outlook for this area is a bit of a mixed bag with a long stretch of flatness and then a dangerous pulse of energy at the very end.

Overall, we're looking at a long, slow start. The first few days are a write-off with tiny, weak swell and poor winds. Things start to tick up a little around the end of the first week, but we're still talking about small, choppy conditions. The real potential shows up in the second week, but it comes with a serious health warning.

The first real chance of a wave comes on the morning of the 28th of July for Anse du Brick. The wind is howling out of the WSW at 19 mph, but it's cross-offshore, which is keeping the surface clean. The swell is a modest 4 ft from the west, with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate at 114. It's not a classic, but it’s clean and surfable. The morning of the 29th of July shows a tiny 0.3 ft west swell with a very long 12-second period and clean cross-offshore winds, but it's likely too small to do anything.

Alright, pay attention now. The 29th of July afternoon is where things get real, but tricky. We’re seeing a 7 ft swell from the WSW, with a period of 7 seconds and a solid 395 combined energy. The wind is cross-offshore and clean. But here’s the catch: the forecast says it’s too big for this break. At over 5 ft, this is pushing into expert territory, and at this size, a beach break like this could be a washing machine. The wind is good, but the size is a major caveat for anyone who isn't a seasoned pro.

Then, on the 30th of July, we get a monster. An 12 ft west swell (9-second period) is forecast, with combined energy readings of 1945 in the morning and 1640 in the afternoon. That’s a massive amount of energy. The wind is light from the east, which is a cross or cross-onshore direction. Again, the forecast specifically says the swell is too big for this break. This is a serious, dangerous, expert-only situation. The 31st of July sees the swell dropping but still significant at 5 ft to 6 ft, but the winds turn cross-onshore, making for a choppy, messy mess.

The Standout (With a Warning): If you are an expert surfer looking for a serious challenge, the afternoon of the 29th of July is the most promising window. The 7 ft SSW swell with clean, cross-offshore wind is the best combination of size and conditions in the entire forecast. The morning of the 30th of July is pure power, but the 12 ft swell is absolutely massive and not for the faint of heart. For everyone else, this is a week to watch the ocean from the sand.

Rusty, signing off.
