The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. I’m looking down the forecast for this stretch, and it’s a tough one. We've got a 16-day window, but the surf just isn’t showing up for the paddle.
For the first break we’re checking, Anse de Rémire (L'apcat), the water’s sitting at 84°, which is about 1° warmer than the long-term norm for this time of year. Nothing weird there, just your typical, warm Caribbean bath.
Now, the bad news first: For the next several days, from the 26th through the end of August, and into the first days of September, it’s a total blank. We're looking at tiny, weak swell with cross-onshore winds chopping everything up. The mornings on the 26th and 27th have a bit of a cross-shore wind, but the swell is tiny and the energy is weak, only around 79 to 85 on the combined energy scale. It’s just not worth getting wet for.
There is a bit of a pulse of energy on the 28th, with a longer period of 12 seconds from the NNE, pushing the combined energy to 210. But the wind is still cross-on, so it’s likely to be a mess. That’s the story for the next week or so—frustrating. We see a couple of days with moderate energy, like on the 30th with 162, but again, the wind kills it. It's all cross-on, choppy, and poor. From the 31st through to the 5th, it’s more of the same. Gentle to moderate cross-onshore breezes, weak swell, and waves only around 1ft to 4ft. It’s a long, flat, and bumpy stretch. There's even a risk of thunderstorms on the 3rd and 4th, but that doesn't look like it'll help.
Things don’t really change in the second week. The 5th and 6th see a little more size, with 3ft from the NE, but the period is short at 6-7 seconds, meaning it will be soft and weak, and the wind is still not your friend. The energy does pick up to 216 on the afternoon of the 6th, which is moderate, but it's still cross-onshore and short-period. This keeps up through the 10th, with similar conditions, periods of 7-8 seconds, and wind that is just always on the nose or crossing it up. The waves are here, but the quality just isn't.
To be honest, the whole setup points more towards a kiteboarding session than a surfing one. With these winds and the lack of any real swell direction, the paddle surfers are going to be sitting on the beach. There are just no standout days in this entire 16-day forecast. Nothing is worth circling on the calendar. It's a block of poor conditions and you might be better off finding something else to do for a while. This looks pretty grim.
