Anse du Brick Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what we’ve got on the cards for the next couple of weeks. Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – it’s looking pretty quiet. The finder file doesn’t really hand us any standout sessions, but we’ll work with what we’ve got from the guidance.

The only break we’re looking at is Anse du Brick. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent, and it’s exposed to the west-northwest. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild to report there. Crowds can show up sometimes, so you might have a few mates out.

Now, the pattern over the whole 16 days is a real flat spell. There’s a big gap of no real surf on offer from the start right through most of the period. We don’t see anything worth paddling out for until around Tuesday 11th August. That morning, we get a bit of a bump – a 4ft swell from the east-northeast with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy sits at 106 (moderate), but the wind is a fresh cross-shore at 19 mph, which messes up the surface. It’s lumpy and not great. The afternoon is similar. This is really the only time the swell gets above 3ft, but the quality is poor.

After that, it’s back to tiny stuff – mostly under 2ft through the rest of the week and into the second week. The winds stay mixed, mostly cross or cross-on, with a few clean moments like Thursday 13th August morning when we get a light cross-off breeze, but the swell is only 2ft from the west with a 9-second period and weak energy (57). Not really worth getting wet for unless you’re desperate for a splash.

There’s a little uptick on Thursday 20th August morning – a 3ft swell from the west-northwest, period of 7 seconds, energy 108 (moderate), and a light cross-shore breeze. Still, the wave comment says poor surf conditions. It’s a glimmer, but not a proper session.

Honestly, if you’re looking for anything over 5ft, there’s nothing. Over 8ft? Forget it. The longest period we see is 11 seconds on Thursday 13th afternoon, but the swell is only 1ft – a tease. The short period swells (under 8 seconds) dominate, so don’t expect much shape or power.

Overall, this is a lean run. The area tends to have blank spells like this, so it’s not a huge surprise. Keep an eye on the forecasts – things can change. For now, the kites might have more fun than the paddle crew.

Rusty.
