The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a pretty dry run. We’re looking at Anse de Rémire (L'apcat) and the story is basically the same day after day: small, messy, and cross-onshore. There’s no standout session in this whole 16-day window.
The first real chance to get wet is from Thursday the 16th, but it’s not exactly a punt worth paddling for. Swell is tiny at 2 ft from the NE, with a period of just 7 seconds – that’s weak, short-period wind chop, not proper surf. The wind is cross-onshore from the east at 12 mph, which is just chopping it all up. The combined energy is a measly 36 (weak). We’re looking at a solid 16 days of poor surf conditions, with a gap of no real recommendation at all.
Water temp is sitting at 83°F with a tiny anomaly of 0.2° – that’s bang on average for this time of year. Nothing weird there.
Friday the 17th through to the end of the month? Same story. Swell never cracks 3 ft, and when it does nudge up to 3 ft to 3 ft around the 27th and 28th of July, the period is still only 8 seconds and the wind is still cross-onshore. Even the slightly bigger pulse on the 27th afternoon (3 ft, 8 seconds, 218 combined energy – moderate) is ruined by a gentle cross-onshore breeze. It’s not going to be clean.
The break is exposed to swell, but it’s also always crowded, so even if there was a half-decent wave, you’d be fighting for it. The optimum swell direction is NE, which we do get, but the quality just isn’t there. For the whole run, every single entry is marked as poor surf conditions. This is a stretch where you’re better off leaving the board at home.
If you’re desperate, the 27th and 28th have the most push (3 ft, 8 seconds, energy around 218), but with the wind on it, it’s likely to be a choppy, frustrating mess. Honestly, it’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one for most of this period.
Hang in there – forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a flat spell.
