The Lowdown
Alright, let's give this one a go in feet and miles per hour.
So, Anse du Brick. The water is warm, about 68°F, which is a solid 5°F above the seasonal norm. That’s a noticeable difference.
Right now, through the end of August and into early September, it’s mostly flat and messy. The swell is tiny, often under 2 feet, coming from the wrong angles (NE, E), and the wind is always cross-shore or onshore, creating chop and lump. The wave energy is weak, barely reaching the high double digits in combined energy for the first ten days. It's a write-off.
On Thursday, August 28th afternoon, we get a pulse. A 7-foot swell from the WSW, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 502 (strong to very strong). But the winds are a near gale from the WSW at 31 mph, cross-off. It'll be clean, but that is a serious, heavy day. Only for the experienced crew. Too big for beginners.
The next day, August 29th, drops to around 6 feet in the morning (422 combined) and 5 feet in the afternoon, but the wind swings cross-shore at 19 mph, making it lumpy again.
The highlight, if you can call it that, is probably Thursday the 28th afternoon for the sheer size and power, but the wind is a bitch. The other best bet is Friday morning, September 4th. A cleaner 5-foot swell from the west with a fresh 19 mph cross-off wind. Clean conditions and moderate energy (260). That's the most user-friendly window for a decent surfer.
This setup, with those strong winds and decent swell on the 28th and 29th, screams kite-surfing more than paddle surfing. The beach-and-reef setup will be choppy and challenging for us.
All in all, it's a lean outlook. A long gap of nothing good, followed by some gnarly, wind-affected days. It’s not a spot to get your hopes up for this 16-day stretch.
Rusty.
