Surf Forecasts:
The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – it’s a grim outlook for Port Bruce over the next 16 days. The finder is showing nothing but zeros across the board. There’s simply no surf on offer right now and that flat spell is set to run all the way through to Thursday the 20th of August. We’re talking a solid 16-day stretch with no waves to speak of.
The water temp is sitting at 70°, which is 3° colder than the norm for this time of year – a bit nippier than usual, but nothing too wild.
For the whole period, the combined energy of all swells is zilch (0). Don’t bother checking the charts; there’s no swell height, no period, and no direction to get excited about. What we do have is a lot of wind. Most days it’s onshore or cross-onshore from the SW or SSW, gusting up to 12–16 mph, which would chop up anything if there were waves.
There are a couple of moments where the wind might clean up – like Tuesday the 11th morning with a light northerly offshore, and Wednesday the 12th morning with glassy conditions from the NNE. But with zero swell, clean conditions don’t matter. Even the cross-offshore northwesterlies later in the second week are just blowing over a flat lake.
Port Bruce is an exposed break that can handle a SW swell, and the guidance says it’s consistent when there’s swell, with crowds sometimes. But right now, it’s a total flat spell. For an area like this, a blank run is more normal, but it tends not to stay poor for long – forecasts can change. Keep an eye on it.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Port Bruce can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Port Bruce may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
