Anse du Brick Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, this is Rusty. Looking at the next couple of weeks for Anse du Brick, it’s a pretty grim run ahead. The pattern shows mostly poor surf conditions with weak energy and messy winds, so you’ll be waiting a good while for anything half-decent. There’s a long, empty stretch of flat or near-flat days through the end of August, so don’t get your hopes up early.

The first real standout doesn’t show up until Saturday, the 29th of August. We’ve got a pulse of swell arriving in the morning – 4 ft from the WSW with a period of 7 seconds, combined energy at 140 (moderate). Winds are offshore from the SSE at 9 mph, and it’s clean. The water temperature is 68°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s over 5°F above average, so it’s a notable change. By the afternoon, the swell ticks up a touch to 4 ft from the same direction, period still 7 seconds, energy 156 (moderate), with cross-off winds from the ESE at 9 mph and clean conditions. It’s not epic, but it’s the best on offer. Keep in mind, this break is fairly consistent, and the swell direction (WSW) matches the optimum (WNW) pretty well, so the setup works.

Then, Sunday the 30th of August morning is a real treat – glassy conditions with the wind from the SSE at just 3 mph. Swell is 3 ft from the west, period 8 seconds, combined energy at 138 (moderate). That glassy wind is a massive positive – it’ll be clean and smooth. The crowd profile here says “sometimes,” so you might have some company, but nothing too hectic. This is a beginner-friendly spot, and with swell under 5 ft, it’s fine for all levels.

Looking into the first week of September, Tuesday the 1st brings a bigger swell – 6 ft from the west, period 10 seconds, combined energy soaring to 668 (strong). Winds are cross-off from the SSW at 19 mph, so it’ll be clean but powerful. That’s getting into expert territory at over 5 ft, and the short period (10 seconds) means it’s a windswell, not a groundswell – so shape might be a bit average. Wednesday the 2nd morning drops to 4 ft, period 10 seconds, energy 307 (moderate), with offshore winds from the SSW at 19 mph – clean again, but the afternoon turns messy with cross-on winds and heavy rain. For a spot like this, a beach-and-reef setup with that much wind and energy, it might be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

So, to sum it up: the standout window is the morning of Sunday the 30th of August for the glassy, clean conditions, and the afternoon of Saturday the 29th of August for the best combination of swell and wind. Anything beyond the first week of September is too far out to bank on, but that Tuesday the 1st morning could be a heavy one for experienced surfers only. Stay patient, mate – it’ll come good.

Rusty.
