The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a bit of a bummer right now. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak waves and onshore chop that’s not doing us any favours. We’re talking a solid run of days where you’d be fighting an uphill battle to find anything worth paddling out for. The water temp is sitting at a warm 84°, which is about 1° warmer than average for this time of year, so at least it’ll be a nice bath if you want a swim.
Let’s start at Anse de Rémire (L'apcat) . The first real pulse of energy comes in on Sunday, 16th August. We see the swell jump up to about 4ft from the ENE with a 11-second period, and the combined energy hits a moderate 442. It’s not huge but it’s a step up. The wind is a cross-shore breeze from the ESE at 16 mph, which will put a bit of a chop on the face. Not ideal, but it’s the first time in the window you’ll see any real lines. Later that afternoon the swell pushes to 4ft from the NE with a solid 713 combined energy, but the wind swings cross-on and it gets properly choppy. That Sunday morning is your pick of the early lot, but keep expectations in check.
Into the second week, things get smaller and more inconsistent again. There’s a little bump on Monday, 24th August, with a 3ft swell from the ENE and a period around 8 seconds, giving us a combined energy of 163. The wind is still cross-on, so it’ll be a messy one. Tuesday, 25th August sees similar numbers, 3ft from the NE and 172 energy, but again, the wind is cross-on and moderate. Nothing here is going to blow your mind.
The bottom line: There is no standout session in this whole 16-day run. The conditions are consistently poor with onshore or cross-onshore winds and no clean, properly surfable swell. If you are absolutely desperate, the morning of Sunday, 16th August offers the most energy, but it’s going to be average at best. Might be more of a kite-surfing kinda window with that consistent wind and chunky sea state.
Rusty.
