Anse du Brick Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on offer for our local patch. First thing I gotta say – it’s a rough run. The forecast is a long, dry spell with nothing really worth paddling out for. We’ve got a solid 16-day window ahead, but it’s mostly a bust.

The only spot on the cards is Anse du Brick, a beginner-friendly break that’s fairly consistent. It’s exposed to the west-northwest, which is the direction we want to see. The water temp is sitting at 67°F, which is a solid 5°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s pretty notable, a real treat if you’re brave enough to get wet despite the conditions.

The first real chance of anything surfable shows up on the morning of Sunday, September 6th. We’re looking at a tiny 2 ft of swell from the west, with a 10-second period. The combined energy is a weak 45 – barely a bump. The wind is a light cross-offshore though, which is enough to keep the surface clean. It’s surfable, but the waves are ordinary. That’s the best we get for a while.

The run after that is a painful one. From Sunday afternoon all the way through to the end of the second week, we’re stuck with tiny, weak swell and mostly cross or cross-onshore winds that chop everything up. There’s a pulse of bigger swell that comes in around Tuesday, September 8th, with 5 ft to 6 ft from the west. The combined energy hits a solid 546 (moderate wave energy), and the period is 10-11 seconds – decent energy. But the wind is a fresh cross-shore, making it a lumpy, bumpy mess. The forecast calls it poor surf conditions, and I’d agree. That’s a lot of water moving for no good reason.

The pattern repeats – more swell mid-week on the 10th and 11th, but again, cross-onshore winds ruin the shape. The period drops to just 5-7 seconds on a few of those days, which is short-period, windswell junk. Not worth the drive.

Even the long-range stuff around the 17th and 18th of September shows a bit more size (4 ft to 5 ft), but it’s all cross-onshore with fresh breeze, turning it into a lumpy, choppy mess. The energy is there (200-245), but the quality is not.

Honestly, for this 16-day window, there are no standout days. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the consistent wind and lack of clean wave faces. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s a bit more normal than we’d like. Sooner or later, a clean window will open up. Keep your eyes peeled.

Rusty.
