Anse du Brick Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. To be honest, the next couple of weeks look pretty bleak for a proper paddle. The only spot on the cards is Anse du Brick, and even then, it’s a real struggle to find any decent waves worth getting wet for.

For the first week and a half, it’s nearly all poor surf conditions. Right from Monday 27th July, the swell is small and the wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. There’s no real energy to speak of—the combined energy sits in the low double or single digits most days, and when it does climb a little, the wind ruins it. On Wednesday 29th July, we get a morning of glassy conditions with only 1.0ft of swell and a combined energy of just 13; it’s clean but there’s nothing to ride. That pretty much sums up the run until early August.

There’s a gap of several days here with no real surf on offer—you’d be better off doing something else.

We finally see a glimmer on Friday 7th August. That morning, the wind goes light offshore from the SSE, clean conditions roll in, and the swell bumps up to 3ft from the west with a 7-second period. The combined energy hits 103 (moderate). It’s not big, and the period is short, but it’s the cleanest it’s been in a while. The afternoon holds with a light breeze and clean surf—just 4ft from the west, 6-second period, combined energy of 104. These are surfable waves but ordinary—still, this is your best shot in the whole outlook. It’s a beginner-friendly size and the offshore wind will keep things tidy. Just know the period is short, so the waves might not have much punch.

After that, Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th August see the swell build to 4ft–5ft from the west, but the wind swings cross-onshore or cross, and conditions get choppy again. Combined energy jumps to 155 and then 242, so there’s some power there, but it’s lumpy and messy. Not a great call unless you’re desperate.

Into the second week, the patterns stay poor. Winds freshen and the swell remains small and wind-affected. There’s nothing from 10th to 11th August that changes the story—cross-shore and choppy, no quality.

So overall, if you’re keen, aim for Friday 7th August at Anse du Brick. It’s the only time the stars line up for a clean, small, beginner-friendly wave. Otherwise, it’s a long wait.

The water temp is sitting at 67°F, which is 5° warmer than average for this time of year—worth noting if you’re thinking about a thin wetsuit.

Stay tuned, Rusty.
