The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be honest: we’re looking at a pretty grim stretch for Anse du Brick. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for any decent surf. There isn’t a single recommendation in the lot, so don’t bother checking the cams or waxing up just yet.
The first real chance of anything even surfable doesn’t come until Monday, August 17th, and even then, it’s a real struggle. The morning of the 17th sees a tiny 3 ft swell from the west with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is weak (105). The wind is glassy which is a major positive, making it look clean, but the waves are just ordinary. The afternoon stays poor with a light offshore wind from the SSE, but the swell drops to 3 ft and the energy falls off (88). The surf is just too weak to get excited about.
After that, the rest of the window is a bust. The 18th kicks up a bit of cross-offshore wind, but the swell is small and the energy is still low. From the 19th onward, it’s a mess of strong cross-shore winds and tiny, short-period junk. By Sunday, August 16th, the swell actually bumps up to 7 ft from the west, but it’s a short-period (7 seconds) windswell with a fresh 19 mph crosswind, making it lumpy and horrible. That’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session.
The water temperature is 67°F on the first day, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year.
So, to sum it up: there’s nothing on offer. Don’t hold your breath. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a blank run.
Rusty.
