Pont Blondin Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, listen up, folks. Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Pont-Blondin over the next couple of weeks.

Truth be told, it’s a pretty quiet stretch. We’re lookin’ at a lot of poor surf conditions and a whole lotta nothin’ worthwhile for quite a while. The first window of opportunity doesn’t show up until the morning of Saturday, July 26th, and even that’s just a whisper of potential.

Alright, let’s get into it. The water temp at Pont-Blondin is sittin’ at 75°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – a nice little bonus.

The first decent sign comes on the morning of Saturday, July 26th. We’ve got a clean 5ft swell rolling in from the NNW. The wind is a gentle cross-offshore breeze from the NNE, which is about as good as it gets for tidy lines. The energy is moderate at 278. This is a standout for the whole period. It’s the first real chance at something clean. It’s a beach and point setup, so with that light wind, look for the point to offer the most shape. But keep in mind, crowds are sometimes an issue here, so get in early.

The next morning, Sunday, July 27th, is a bit more of a gamble. The swell is still 5ft from the NNW, but the wind has clocked around to a light cross-onshore from the WNW. The energy is up to 238, but the surf is judged as marginal. It’s a better bet for the experienced crew who can work with a little texture.

After that, we drop off again. Nothing really worth paddling out for until the morning of Thursday, August 1st. The swell is small at 3ft from the NNW, with a period so short at 7 seconds it’s gonna be weak. The wind is a clean cross-offshore, which makes it surfable, but the energy is just 123 – it’s an ordinary day. Not a total washout, but you’ll be working hard for tiny waves.

The next real lift in energy comes on the morning of Sunday, August 3rd, with a 4ft NNW swell and moderate energy at 210. But the wind is a gentle cross-shore, creating a slight chop. It’s a marginal call. The tail end of the forecast, on the morning of Wednesday, August 6th, shows a clean 3ft swell from the WNW with a 7-second period and energy at 140. It’s another surfable but very ordinary day.

So, the bottom line: don’t get your hopes up for the first week. The only true standout is the morning of Saturday, July 26th. That’s your best bet. The second week has a few small, clean windows, but nothing that’ll get the heart racing. It’s a dry spell, but it tends not to stay poor for long around here, and the forecasts can change.

Stay patient.

Rusty.
