Pont Blondin Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Pont Blondin.

Overall, the next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag with a lot of onshore and cross-shore chop to sift through. There’s a real standout morning on Monday the 7th that looks like the pick of the bunch, but we’ve got a few other moments that’ll get you wet if you’re keen.

We start off this Saturday, the 5th, and it’s pretty grim. Onshore winds and tiny, weak swell with combined energy of just 47, so honestly, don’t bother. Sunday the 6th is a strange one. The morning goes glassy with a bit more energy (186) and a 3 ft NW swell, but the forecast says it’s only “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions”. By the afternoon, it picks up a long-period 13-second groundswell at 2 ft, but the cross-onshore wind messes it up. Tides might be a factor too.

Now, Monday the 7th morning is where it’s at. We’ve got clean conditions with a light offshore breeze from the east, a solid 4 ft NW swell, and a solid 11-second period. The combined energy is a strong 512, and the forecast says “expect very good surf conditions”. That’s the one to circle. The afternoon goes to crap with a cross-shore, so get it early.

Tuesday the 8th morning has a little swell (3 ft, 11 seconds, energy 343) but it’s cross-shore and only marginal. The afternoon is a write-off. Wednesday the 9th morning cleans up again with a cross-offshore breeze and a 3 ft NW swell, energy at 240, and it’s clean. A solid backup option.

Thursday the 10th morning is clean but the swell is short period (7 seconds) and weak, so it’s just ordinary. Friday the 11th morning is glassy! Absolutely glassy, with a 3 ft NNW swell and a 10-second period, energy at 202. That’s a lovely little session for a cruiser board if you’re about.

From Saturday the 12th onwards, we hit a rough patch. Onshore winds, tiny swell, and energy drops below 100. That lasts through the weekend, and Monday the 14th is a no-go with onshore winds. Tuesday the 15th morning is clean with a cross-offshore breeze and a 3 ft NNW swell, energy at 200, and the forecast says “expect good surf conditions”. That’s another decent shout, but it’s a week and a half away, so keep an eye on it.

After that, from Wednesday the 16th right through to Friday the 18th, it’s all small, weak, and mostly messy. The swell is only 2 ft to 3 ft, and the energy is pathetic. There’s a little pulse on the 19th and 20th, but it’s onshore or cross-onshore, and the wind is howling 19 mph on the Sunday morning. That’s more of a kite day than a surf day.

So, the standout is clearly Monday morning, September 7th. Get there early, it’ll be clean and fun. The Friday the 11th morning glass-off is also a treat. The rest is a waiting game.

Rusty.
