Anse du Brick Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, I’ll put it in imperial now. Rusty here.

Honestly, the whole 16-day window is a long, flat, frustrating stretch for Anse du Brick. The swell is tiny and the wind is mostly messy, so you’re really scraping for anything rideable. The water is sitting at 68° – that’s about 5° warmer than usual, like a hot bath. Too bad there are hardly any waves to enjoy it.

The first couple of weeks are a write-off. From Sunday the 16th right through to Wednesday the 20th, it’s all tiny windswell from the west, under 2 ft, with a short period and cross-shore winds that just chop it up. The energy is weak (27), and it’s all rated poor. Even when the swell bumps up to 3 ft to 4 ft on Tuesday and Wednesday the 18th and 19th, the period is short (5 seconds) and the wind is a fresh cross-shore. It’s just lumpy, bumpy, and not worth paddling out for.

Thursday the 20th sees a slight jump in combined energy (126 and 187) with 4 ft to 4 ft swell from the west at 6 to 8 seconds, but again, the wind is a moderate cross-shore. Still poor. Then Friday the 21st afternoon is the first real glimmer – a glassy session with 2 ft west swell, 8-second period. The energy is low (41), but it’s clean. That’s your best bet for the first week, but it’s tiny.

After that, we hit a long gap. Saturday the 22nd through to Thursday the 27th is almost flat. Swell drops to 1 ft and below, with strong onshore winds and a lot of rain. Combined energy falls to single digits. Nothing to ride.

Finally, Friday the 28th morning shows a bit of life. A 2 ft west swell with a 10-second period, cross-offshore wind, and clean conditions. The energy is moderate (77). It’s surfable but very ordinary. Then Saturday the 29th morning is the standout of the whole outlook. You’ve got a 3 ft west swell with a 9-second period, light offshore wind, clean conditions, and moderate energy (154). It’s still not huge, but it’s the cleanest, most organised wave in the whole 16 days. This is the one to circle.

After that, it fades back into small, choppy, cross-shore junk through to the end of the month.

So, the pick of a very average bunch is Saturday the 29th morning at Anse du Brick. The west swell is 3 ft, direction is good, and the offshore wind will make it glassy. It’s a beginner-friendly break, so it’ll be nice and clean, but expect others to have the same idea since crowds are sometimes an issue. For the rest of it, you’re either waiting for the swell to show up or dealing with messy wind.

Rusty.
