The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for Anse de Rémiure (L'apcat) is a tough one. We're looking at a long 16-day window, but the honest truth is there's not a single session in that whole stretch that I'd be rushing to get in the water for. The forecast is a flat, choppy, and frustrating run of "poor surf conditions" from start to finish.
The whole period kicks off with nothing. From Friday the 7th of August right through to the end of the month, we’re looking at a near-endless gap of small, weak swell. The wave energy is low, with values mostly in the 20s and 30s, and only occasionally bumping into the three-digit range. Even when it does, the wind is never on our side. The wind is a constant cross-onshore or cross breeze from the east or southeast, blowing at 9 to 12 mph. That’s a recipe for a bumpy, chopped-up surface, not clean surfable lines.
The swell itself is tiny, with heights barely scraping 1 ft to 3 ft. The period is short, often under 8 seconds, so there's no real push or power behind it. The water temperature is a warm 84°, which is about average for the time of year, so you’ll be comfortable sitting out there waiting for a wave that never comes.
There is a slight pulse of energy around Thursday the 13th of August morning, with the combined energy hitting 150 and a swell from the NE at 2 ft and an 11-second period. That’s the best look we get, but the wind is still a gentle cross-shore, making it bumpy. For a spot that’s constantly crowded, and with the wind state never lining up, it’s just not worth fighting the crowd for a knee-high, choppy mess.
The rest of the second week, from the 18th onward, is more of the same – a mix of tiny, weak swell and persistent onshore winds. The wave energy stays low, mostly under 100, and the swell direction is all over the place, from NE to ENE to NNE, but none of it matches the guidance’s optimum NE direction when the wind is finally right. It’s a blank run that’s pretty normal for this area when the trades are up.
Don’t hold your breath. The setups here are more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing with this wind and swell pattern. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d leave the board at home.
