Pont Blondin Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s shaping up for us over the next 16 days.

We’re in a bit of a slow patch to start, but there’s some promise on the horizon. The first real surf recommendation comes in on the morning of Friday, August 28th, with a marginal call. The main focus is Pont Blondin, a beach and point setup that’s fairly consistent. The water temperature is sitting at 73°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.

The real standout window is the morning of Saturday, August 29th. That’s where you want to be. We’re looking at clean, cross-off winds from the NNE at just 6 mph, with a solid NW swell of 6 ft and a period of 11 seconds. That’s a nice groundswell, and the combined energy is pumping at 712 (moderate to strong). The swell direction is dead on the optimum from the NW, so expect some well-shaped, punchy waves. It’s in the intermediate range, so not for beginners, but it’s going to be a fun session. A heads up – with a long period like that on a beach and point, it might break a bit straight at the beach, but the point should handle it nicely.

After that, we have a few good-looking mornings. Monday, September 1st, morning has a clean 4 ft NW swell (267 energy) with light NNE wind, offering good surf conditions. Then Tuesday, September 2nd, morning brings a 5 ft NW swell (390 energy) with clean cross-off wind from the NNE. And again on Thursday, September 5th, morning we get a 5 ft NW swell (256 energy) with clean conditions.

There’s a bit of a gap after that with smaller, weaker swells and poor conditions until we get to the morning of Sunday, September 7th, with a 2 ft NW swell from the NNW at 12 seconds, but it’s a glassy morning with a light cross-off wind. The energy is low (169), so it’s more of a longboard or funboard session.

Looking further out to the 10th of September, Thursday morning brings a 6 ft NW swell (482 energy) with onshore wind from the W, making it marginal. The afternoon sees a 7 ft NW swell (673 energy), but with cross-onshore wind, it’s going to be messy. That’s big enough for experts only, but the wind is going to trash it.

To sum it up: the best window is the morning of Saturday, August 29th – that’s your standout. The mornings of the 31st, 1st September, and 3rd September are also good, clean options. Everything else is either small, onshore, or poor quality. Long-range stuff (the 10th) is promising in size but the wind is a worry.

Stay stoked,
Rusty
